Abstract
Provided is a method for improving performance of a processor. The method includes computing utilization values of components within the processor and determining a maximum utilization value based upon the computed utilization values. The method also includes comparing (i) the maximum utilization value with a first threshold and (ii) differences between the computed utilization values and a second threshold.
Claims14
A method for improving performance of a processor, comprising:
- computing utilization values of components within the processor;
- determining a maximum utilization value based upon the computed utilization values;
- and
- comparing (i) the maximum utilization value with a first threshold and (ii) differences between the computed utilization values and a second threshold.
A system, comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory device and configured to:
- compute utilization values of components within the processing unit;
- determine a maximum utilization value based upon the computed utilization values;
- and
- compare (i) the maximum utilization value with a first threshold (ii) differences between the computed utilization values with a second threshold.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions recorded thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method to manage performance of a processor including a plurality of components, comprising:
- computing utilization values of components in the processor;
- determining a maximum utilization value based upon the computed utilization values;
- and
- comparing (i) the maximum utilization value with a first threshold and (ii) differences between the computed utilization values and a second threshold.
