I wanted to know how exactly the CPU tests flow. From the help page, they say this about the slider:
Each test has a slide bar and an associated edit box. The slide bar allows the user to determine the “duty cycle” for each test. A low duty cycle means that a delay will be inserted during the execution of the test, reducing the load on the system and reducing the number of operations performed during any particular period of time. A high duty cycle corresponds to higher load.
So is there a forumla to understand how cpu utilization will be affected when using this slider bar? Is is a 1 to 1 ratio, I.E. 100 duty cycle corresponds to 100% cpu utilization and 50 duty cycle corresponds to 50% cpu utilization? I am just a little confused as to what this slider bar actually affects.
