WORKLOAD LINKED PERFORMANCE SCALING FOR SERVERS

Embodiments herein relate to providing uniform servicing of workloads at a set of servers in a computer network. A platform determines and meets the performance requirements of a workload by scaling a performance capability of a group of processing units such as central processing units (CPUs) which are assigned to service the workload. This can involve increasing the power (P) state of one or more of the processing units to a highest P state in the group, so that every processing units in the group provides the same performance for a given workload. The platform can manage scaling of the processing units performance by reading a performance profile list which indicates minimum and maximum scaling points for programs that are executed to service the workload.
