Abstract
A computer system to schedule loads across a set of processor cores is described. During operation, the computer system receives a process to be executed. Next, the computer system obtains one or more thermodynamic process characteristics associated with the process and one or more thermodynamic processor-core characteristics associated with operation of the set of processor cores. Then, the computer system schedules the process to be executed by at least one of the processor cores based on the one or more thermodynamic process characteristics and the one or more thermodynamic processor-core characteristics.
