Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the IHS to:
collect utilization data comprising data measuring utilization of the processor;
categorize the collected processor utilization data according to a plurality of usage levels, wherein a lowest of the usage levels corresponds to intervals suitable for IHS maintenance operations;
based on the collected utilization data, generate a time series of predicted processor utilization;
identify predicted transitions between the plurality of usage levels in the time series of predicted processor utilization;
identify a predicted idle interval without predicted transitions above the lowest of the usage levels; and
determine when a maintenance operation can be completed in the predicted idle interval.
