USING TEMPERATURE DATA FOR INSTRUCTION THREAD DIRECTION

摘要

A data processing system having a memory for storing instructions and several central processing units for executing instructions, each central processing unit includes an adaptive power supply which provides, among other data, temperature information. Circuitry is provided that receives the temperature information from the many central processing units, selects a central processing unit which has the lowest temperature and which is available to execute instructions and dispatches instructions to the selected central processing from the memory.
