Abstract
In at least some embodiments, a system comprises a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor performance utility instructions and performance adjustment instructions. When executed, the processor performance utility instructions are configured to cause activities of the processor to be counted and to cause a processor utilization value to be determined based on the counts. When executed, the performance adjustment instructions are configured to adjust the processor utilization value based on a comparison of the processor's current operating frequency and maximum operating frequency.
