Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device for performance management by terminating application programs that consume an excessive amount of system resources is described. The device receives a resource consumption threshold and a detection period. The device further monitors a resource usage of an application program. The device determines whether the resource usage of the application program exceeds the resource consumption threshold for the detection period. The device further terminates the application program when the resource usage exceeds the resource consumption threshold for the detection period.
