Abstract
Techniques for scheduling a thread running in a computer system are disclosed. Example computer systems may include but are not limited to a multiprocessor having first and second cores, an operating system, and a memory bank for storing data. The example methods may include but are not limited to measuring a temperature of the memory bank and determining whether the thread includes a request for data stored in the memory bank, if the temperature of the memory bank exceeds a predetermined temperature. The methods may further include but are not limited to slowing down the execution of the thread upon determining if the thread includes a request for data.
