  • Task scheduling based on thermal conditions of locations of processors
    Patent number: 9513972
    Abstract: A method of prioritizing processing units in a system for task scheduling includes, for each processing unit of a plurality of processing units in the system, determining a value that represents a thermal condition of a location of the processing unit. It is determined which of the plurality of processing units is not fully loaded and is in a location with a most favorable thermal condition based on the value of the processing unit that represents thermal conditions of the location of the processing unit. A task is scheduled to the processing unit determined to be not fully loaded and in a location with a most favorable thermal condition based on the value of the processing unit that represents thermal conditions of the location of the processing unit.

  • Task scheduling based on thermal conditions of locations of processors
    Patent number: 9507644
    Abstract: Provided is a computer system including a first processor disposed in a first zone, a second processor disposed in a second zone, a prioritizing unit, and a scheduling unit. The prioritizing unit prioritizes the first processor and the second processor based on the thermal conditions of the first zone and the second zone, respectively. The scheduling unit schedules a task to one of the first processor and the second processor according to the priority provided by the prioritizing unit.
