ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of the invention, a performance information associated with a processor is read. A processor performance table that corresponds to the performance information is located. The performance table includes a plurality of performance parameters to control performance of the processor. A performance state (PS) structure is updated using one of the processor performance table and a default table.
