Methods and systems for improved thermal management of a portable computing device ('PCD') with skin temperature sensors are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of skin sensors are provided in the PCD, the plurality of skin sensors disposed on a flexible printed circuit board ('Flex PCB') located internal to the PCD proximal to an outer surface of the PCD. It is determined whether to obtain temperature information from one or more of the plurality of skin sensors, and one or more skin sensors from which to obtain temperature information are identified. The temperature information is obtained from the identified one or more skin sensors, and the temperature information is applied to a thermal mitigation policy.

System and method for improved thermal management of a portable computing device with skin temperature sensors

Performance-hint-driven dynamic resource management, including: receiving workload requirements and sensor inputs of a system; determining a new allocation for resources of the system; reconfiguring the resources of the system using the new allocation; evaluating performance of the system based on the reconfigured resources of the system; and generating performance hints based on the evaluated performance of the system.
