This paper presents a task migration algorithm for dynamic thermal management of SMT multi-core processors.
The unique features of this algorithm include:
1) considering SMT capability of the processors for task scheduling,
2) using adaptive task migration threshold, and
3) considering cores physical features.
This algorithm is evaluated on a commercial SMT quad-core processor. The experimental results indicate that our technique can significantly decrease the average and peak temperature compared to Linux standard scheduler, and two well-known thermal management techniques.
