1. A method, by a computing system associated with a set of disjoint devices in an extended reality (XR) ecosystem that includes at least one XR device, comprising:
receiving a request to perform a task associated with providing XR content to a user;
determining, based on sensor data associated with the set of disjoint devices, a thermal-constraint differential for each device of the set of disjoint devices;
determining a plurality of workload assignments needed to be performed to accomplish the task, wherein the plurality of workload assignments is configured to be performed by one or more devices of the set of disjoint devices to satisfy one or more power or thermal constraints associated with each device of the set of disjoint devices; and
performing the task by causing the one or more devices in the extended reality (XR) ecosystem to execute the plurality of workload assignments.
