Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for thermal- and spatial-aware task scheduling. The method may include monitoring a temperature for each core of a central processing unit having a plurality of cores; determining, from the monitoring, a set of hotspot cores from the plurality of cores determining temperature information and distance information for each hotspot core in the set of hotspot cores relative to each of the other cores on the central processing unit; calculating a placement metric for each core of the central processing unit based at least on the determined distance information and the determined temperature information; and scheduling a task by allocating the task to one or more cores of the central processing unit according to the placement metric.
