<p>The utilization of a central processing unit during a sampling time interval is determined by measuring a time quantum within the sampling time interval during which a central processing unit clock signal is active within a processor core of the central processing unit. The total number of cycles of the central processing unit clock signal that are applied to the processor core and the period of the central processing unit clock signal are used to determine the time quantum. The utilization may then be expressed in terms of a ratio of the time quantum to the total time interval.</p> |
