Abstract
An approach is provided in which a thread is selected from multiple active threads, along with a corresponding weighting value. Computational logic determines whether one of the multiple threads is dispatching an instruction and, if so, computes a dispatch weighting value using the selected weighting value and a dispatch factor that indicates a weighting adjustment of the selected weighting value. In turn, a resource utilization value of the selected thread is computed using the dispatch weighting value.
