Abstract
An information handling system is disclosed and can include at least one memory and at least two processor cores coupled thereto. Further, the information handling system can include a controller coupled to the at least two processor cores and the at least one memory. The controller can monitor the temperature within each processor core. Based on the temperature the controller can selectively steer one or more program threads away from an overheating processor core.
