The
Solution
Max-IT
(CPU) ensures that each running
process will get its fair share
of CPU resources, enabling it to
run smoothly and co-exist
alongside CPU-hungry and rogue
applications. At the most basic
level, Max-IT (CPU) achieves
fair-sharing across all running
processes as follows:
- A
fixed share of CPU resources
is reserved to NT Authority
(the operating system). By
default, this share is 20
percent.
- The
“target percent CPU time” is
then computed as (100 -
Reserved) / (number of active
processes), where Reserved is
the percent CPU share reserved
for NT Authority.
- The
“average percent CPU time” is
calculated for each active
process.
-
Processes whose “average
percent CPU time” has fallen
below the “target percent CPU
time” will get their priority
levels set to NORMAL.
-
Processes whose “average
percent CPU time” has risen
above the “target percent CPU
time” will get their priority
levels set to BELOW NORMAL.
-
Processes whose “average
percent CPU time” has fallen
to zero get their priority
levels set to ABOVE NORMAL.
- The
above process is then repeated
every several hundred
milliseconds. The default
setting is 100 milliseconds.
Max-IT
(CPU) also makes use of
proprietary and sophisticated
techniques above and beyond what
is described above. These
techniques further improve the
application response times and
enhance the end-user’s
experience.
