Linked workload-processor-resource-schedule/processing-system—operating-parameter workload performance system
A workload/processor resource scheduling system is coupled to a processing system. The workload/processor resource scheduling system monitors a performance of first workload(s) by the processing system according to a workload/processor resource schedule, and identifies a correlation between the performance of the first workload(s) according to the workload/processor resource schedule, and an operating level of a processing system operating parameter for the processing system when performing the first workload(s) according to the workload/processor resource schedule. Based on the correlation, the workload/processor resource schedule and the processing system operating parameter are linked.
