Abstract

A software program includes at least two performance levels. Each performance level has an associated processor utilization. Each performance level corresponds to optimization criteria, such as a quality of data processing performed by the software program. The performance level is selected to maintain processor utilization by the software program within constraints, such as a desired range of processor utilization and a minimum idle thread allocation.
