The thermal profile of data centers plays a significant role in affecting the cooling cost and power budget of the system. While several dynamic and static approaches have been proposed so far, these have failed on considering the whole picture. This paper proposes a combined static and dynamic approach that shows the benefits of the efficient scheduling strategies on leading to thermal-efficient floorplans. The devised methodology comes out with a placement of processors and task scheduling for a heterogeneous system, where the main thermal metrics (maximum temperature and thermal gradient) have been optimized.
