Usage scenario based monitoring and adjustment
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.
1. An apparatus comprising:
memory circuitry;
instructions; and
a system-on-a-chip (SOC) including a processor; and
a rest-of-the-platform (ROP) in communication with the SOC,
the SOC to execute the instructions to:
generate, based on operating system monitoring information, a system usage scenario representative of usage of the SOC and the ROP; and
rebalancing resources between the SOC and the ROP based on the system usage scenario.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the SOC includes a power and thermal manager.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is to rebalance resources by reallocating the resources via at least one of an instruction or a suggestion to at least one of the SOC or the ROP.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the system usage scenario is represented by a system usage scenario index.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the system usage scenario index is a composite index formed from a sub-index associated with each of the SOC and the ROP.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the usage is to be determined based on at least one of application information or telemetry data.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the application information is based on one or more application profiles formed from execution of foreground applications and background processes.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the telemetry data includes resource usage data monitored by the operating system.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , further including a processor usage monitor to monitor usage of the SOC and a power monitor to monitor power consumption by at least one of the SOC or the ROP.
10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the SOC is to:
compare the system usage scenario to a criterion; and
trigger the rebalancing based on the comparing the system usage scenario to the criterion.
11. At least one tangible computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a system-on-a-chip (SOC) including a processor to at least:
generate, based on operating system monitoring information, a system usage scenario representative of usage of the SOC and a rest-of-the-platform (ROP) in communication with the SOC; and
rebalancing resources between the SOC and the ROP based on the system usage scenario.
12. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to rebalance resources by reallocating the resources via at least one of an instruction or a suggestion to at least one of the SOC or the ROP.
13. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to generate a system usage scenario index representing the system usage scenario.
14. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to generate the system usage scenario index as a composite index formed from a sub-index associated with each of the SOC and the ROP.
15. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to determine the usage based on at least one of application information or telemetry data.
16. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to determine the application information based on one or more application profiles formed from execution of foreground applications and background processes.
17. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to determine the usage based on the telemetry data including resource usage data monitored by the operating system.
18. The at least one tangible computer readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the SOC to:
compare the system usage scenario to a criterion; and
trigger the rebalancing based on the comparing the system usage scenario to the criterion.
19. A method comprising:
generating, based on operating system monitoring information and by executing an instruction using a system-on-a-chip (SOC), a system usage scenario representative of usage of the SOC and a rest-of-the-platform (ROP) in communication with the SOC; and
rebalancing, by executed an instruction using the SOC, resources between the SOC and the ROP based on the system usage scenario.
