Abstract:
1. A computer usable program product comprising a computer usable storage device including computer usable code for dynamic power and performance calibration of a data processing system, the computer usable code comprising: computer usable code for executing a synthesized program loaded in the data processing system responsive to detecting an event in the data processing system, the synthesized program configured to cause the data processing system to operate in varying conditions of operation and generate a set of data that is indicative of the data processing system's power-performance characteristics under the varying conditions of operation, wherein operating in the varying conditions comprises matching a frequency of events found in data which is a basis for the synthesized program; computer usable code for predicting, using the set of data, a performance limit on an operation of the data processing system under a first set of operating conditions of the data processing system; and computer usable code for calibrating a parameter of the data processing system to operate the data processing system within the performance limit during the first set of operating conditions.
