<p>A task scheduler for distributed processing system having a plurality of processors for processing a plurality of tasks while distributing. As a first scheduling method, the scheduler assigns a task to a processor of lowest temperature. As a second scheduling method, the scheduler selects a task based on the temperature of each processor and the characteristic value of the task related to the extent of temperature rise or increase in power consumption of each processor incident to execution of each task, and assigns a selected task to the processor. For example, a low temperature processor is assigned with a task of high temperature rise rate (e.g. a task having a large number of instructions being processed per unit time), as a second scheduling method. Temperature of respective processors can be made uniform by such a scheduling method.</p> |
