Abstract

See full text

Indicating usage in a system includes implementing a performance counter associated with one or more hardware threads; counting events associated with the one or more hardware threads to determine an event count; deriving an initial measure of usage of a processor core associated with the one or more hardware threads based at least in part on the event count; applying a corrective function to modify the initial measure of usage and determine a modified measure of usage, wherein the modified measure of usage has a value that is different from and not equivalent to the initial measure of usage; and outputting an indication of a processor usage, the indication being based at least in part on the modified measure of usage.
