Method and apparatus for controlling multiple resources using thermal related parameters

An article comprising a storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processing element, result in:

• controlling the operation of at least one of first and second resources, which are configured to execute first and second respective threads of a processing application, based on a thermal-related parameter of said first resource and said second resource.

An apparatus comprising:

• a resource management unit to receive at least two inputs responsive to a thermal-related parameter of first and second, respective, resources of a processing unit having at least two resources and, based on said inputs, to control the operation of at least one of said first and second resources, wherein said first and second resources are configured to execute first and second threads, respectively, of a processing application.

A digital computer comprising:

• a resource management unit to receive at least two inputs responsive to a thermal-related parameter of first and second, respective, resources of a processing unit having at least two resources and, based on said inputs, to control the operation of at least one of said first and second resources, wherein said first and second resources are configured to execute first and second threads, respectively, of a processing application;
• and
• a memory able to communicate with said resource management unit.
