1. A method of determining a set of scalability factors for linear and exponential scaling characteristics of an operating system, the method comprising: receiving a set of CPU performance data; storing the set of CPU performance data in an internal CPU performance repository; deriving an analysis of the set of CPU performance data by a set of characteristics of the operating system, a chip architecture set, a number of chips, a number of cores per chip, and a number of supported threads per core; and determining the set of scalability factors based on the analysis.
