Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to fingerprint-based processor parameter management. An aspect includes determining a fingerprint of software that is currently executing on a processor of a computer system, the fingerprint comprising a representation of a sequence of behavior that occurs in the processor while the software is executing. Another aspect includes determining whether the fingerprint is listed in a fingerprint table with an associated operating parameter value. Another aspect includes based on determining that the fingerprint is listed in the fingerprint table, setting an operating parameter in a parameter register of the processor equal to the associated parameter operating parameter value. Another aspect includes based on determining that the fingerprint is not listed in the fingerprint table: determining a value for operating parameter during execution of the software; and setting the operating parameter in the parameter register equal to the determined value.
