Claim 2:
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the controller further includes:
a throttle composing unit configured to set a target temperature based on the first look-up table, and to generate a plurality of combinations, each composed of a first weight, a second weight, and a third weight respectively corresponding to the first method, the second method, and the third method, based on the target temperature;
a max performance finding unit configured to determine and output a combination maximizing performance of the processor from among the plurality of combinations;
an idle injecting unit configured to set the state of each of the plurality of cores based on the first weight of the combination and to generate a first control signal, wherein the control signal determines levels of power to be respectively provided to each of the plurality of cores;
a frequency/voltage clamping unit configured to determine a maximum value of the level of the operating voltage and a maximum value of the frequency of the clock signal based on the second weight of the combination, and to generate a second control signal adjusting the level of the operating voltage to be provided to the processor and a third control signal increasing or decreasing the frequency of the clock signal to be provided to the processor; and
a frequency clamping unit configured to determine the maximum value of the frequency of the clock signal based on the third weight of the combination and to generate the third control signal.
