ADAPTIVE PROCESSOR UTILIZATION REPORTING HANDLING DIFFERENT PROCESSOR FREQUENCIES

摘要

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable code for identifying processor utilization. A current event is detected. A number of elapsed cycles for a processor since a previous event are identified in response to detecting the current event. An elapsed time using the number of elapsed cycles and a current frequency of the processor is calculated, wherein the elapsed time is used to identify the processor utilization.
