Abstract:
1. A method to adapt a processor core on a multicore processor of a computer to achieve a quality of service target, the method comprising: identifying a target level of a resource on the computer; identifying a first utilization value of the resource when the processor core is configured to operate at a first frequency; identifying a second utilization value of the resource when the processor core is configured to operate at a second frequency; generating a linear interpolation between a first point and a second point, the first point having first coordinates including the first frequency and the first utilization value, the second point having second coordinates including the second frequency and the second utilization value; identifying an intersection point between the linear interpolation and the target level, the intersection point having intersection coordinates including a third frequency and the target level; and setting the processor core to operate at the third frequency in the identified intersection point.
