Abstract
A computer system and method are provided to assess a proper degree of parallelism in executing programs to obtain efficiency objectives, including but not limited to increases in processing speed or reduction in computational resource usage. This assessment of proper degree of parallelism may be used to actively moderate the requests for threads by application processes to control parallelism when those efficiency objectives would be furthered by this control.
