<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a computer implemented method which uses software and hardware thermal profiles to schedule the execution of applications, and to provide data processing system, and computer usable code. <P>SOLUTION: The computer implemented method generates the hardware and software thermal profiles for a set of processors and a set of applications, respectively, to form a plurality of hardware and software thermal profiles. Then, a set of hardware and software thermal profiles are selected from the plurality of hardware and software thermal profiles. The set of software thermal profiles and the set of hardware thermal profiles are used to generate a thermal index. Finally, the execution of the set of applications is scheduled using the thermal index. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
