6 help
7 CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
8 CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
9 the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
10
11 Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
12 clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
13 (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.

151 The governor does a periodic polling and

155 transitions).

169 'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
170 governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
171 its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
172 environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
173 rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
174
175 If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
176 the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
177 PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
178 step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
179 transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.

194 This governor makes decisions based on the utilization data provided
195 by the scheduler. It sets the CPU frequency to be proportional to
196 the utilization/capacity ratio coming from the scheduler. If the
197 utilization is frequency-invariant, the new frequency is also
198 proportional to the maximum available frequency. If that is not the
199 case, it is proportional to the current frequency of the CPU. The
200 frequency tipping point is at utilization/capacity equal to 80% in
201 both cases.
