Thermal-aware source code compilation

A computer program product for thermal-aware source code compilation, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a signal, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:

• receiving, by a compiler during compilation of source code, an identification of a target computing system for which the source code is to be compiled, the identification of the target computing system specifying a plurality of temperature sensors, each temperature sensor configured to measure temperature of a memory module of the target computing system;
• compiling the source code into an executable application including inserting in the executable application computer program instructions for thermal-aware execution, the computer program instructions for thermal-aware execution, when executed on the target computing system, carry out the steps of:
• retrieving temperature measurements of one or more of the target computing system's temperature sensors, wherein retrieving temperature measurements of one or more of the target computing system's temperature sensors further comprises retrieving, periodically at an interval of a specified number of function calls, temperature measurements of one or more of the target computing system's temperature sensors;
• wherein the specified number of function calls is more than one determining, in real-time in dependence upon the temperature measurements, whether a memory module is overheated;
• if a memory module is overheated, entering a thermal-aware execution state including, for each memory allocation in the executable application, allocating memory on a different memory module than the overheated memory module;
• and
• upon the temperature sensors indicating the memory module is no longer overheated, exiting the thermal-aware execution state.
