Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to monitor and manage usage of resources on a computing platform. An example apparatus includes a processor and a subsystem. The example processor includes a modified operating system, the operating system modified to monitor application execution via the processor to determine a usage scenario for the apparatus. The example processor includes an index generator to generate a system usage scenario index quantifying a snapshot of the usage scenario for the processor and the subsystem of the apparatus. The example processor includes a rebalancer to reallocate resources of at least one of the processor or the subsystem based on the system usage scenario index.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus comprising:
a monitoring means to monitor application execution to determine a usage scenario for a computing platform, the computing platform including a processor and a subsystem; an index generating means to generate a system usage scenario index representative of the usage scenario for the processor and the subsystem of the computing platform; and a rebalancing means to, based on the system usage scenario index, reallocate resources of at least one of the processor or the subsystem.

2 . A power and thermal management system comprising:
memory circuitry; instructions; and processor circuitry including:
an index generator to generate a system usage scenario index representative of a usage scenario for the processor and a subsystem in communication with the processor, the usage scenario based on monitoring information obtained from an operating system; and
a rebalancer to reallocate resources of at least one of the processor or the subsystem based on the system usage scenario index.

3 . The power and thermal management system of claim 2 , wherein the usage scenario is to be determined based on at least one of application information or telemetry data.

4 . The power and thermal management system of claim 3 , wherein the application information is based on one or more application profiles formed from execution of foreground applications and background processes.

5 . The power and thermal management system of claim 3 , wherein the telemetry data includes resource usage data monitored by the operating system.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a processor usage monitor and a power monitor.
