Information handling system performance optimization system

An information handling system (IHS), comprising:

• an IHS chassis;
• a plurality of IHS components, including a processor, located in the IHS chassis;
• a monitoring plug-in and a configuration plug-in coupled to the processor;
• a monitoring engine coupled to the monitoring plug-in, wherein the monitoring engine is operable to receive monitoring information for the processor from the monitoring plug-in;
• a configuration engine coupled to the configuration plug-in, wherein the configuration engine is operable to send configuration setting information to processor through the configuration plug-ins;
• and
• a performance optimization engine coupled to the monitoring engine and the configuration engine, wherein the performance optimization engine is operable to receive the monitoring information from the monitoring engine, determine a policy is associated with the monitoring information and, in response, retrieve configuration setting information that is associated with the policy and send the configuration setting information to the configuration engine in order to change the configuration of the processor.

A method for optimizing the performance of an information handling system (IHS), comprising:

• providing a monitoring plug-in and a configuration plug-in coupled to each of a plurality of IHS components receiving monitoring information for the plurality of IHS components from the monitoring plug-ins;
• determining a policy is associated with the monitoring information;
• retrieving configuration setting information that is associated with the policy in response to determining that the policy is associated with the monitoring information;
• and
• sending the configuration setting information to at least one of the configuration plug-ins in order to change the configuration of at least one of the plurality of IHS components.
