PAL_GET_PSTATE
PAL_GET_PSTATE – Return Information on the Performance Index
of the Processor (262)
Purpose:
Returns the performance index of the processor.
Calling Conv:
Stacked Registers
Mode:
Physical and Virtual
Buffer:
Dependent
Arguments:
Returns:
Status:
Description:
This procedure returns a performance index of the processor, and is relative to the
highest available P-state, P0. A value of 100 represents the minimum processor
performance in the P0 state. For processors that support variable P-state performance,
it is possible for a processor to report a number greater than 100, representing that the
processor is running at a performance level greater than the minimum P0 performance.
The PAL procedure
“PAL_PROC_GET_FEATURES – Get Processor Dependent Features
indicates whether the processor supports variable P-state
performance.
The
type
argument allows the caller to select the
performance_index
value that will be
returned. See
below for details.
