Thanks for taking the time to reply but those links are useless. The information is all outdated and even what information is there does not mention anything about CPU frequency scaling (or "throttling", as it's called on one page).
you didnt look into the stuff in detail, and didnt look at powersave command at all. tux:~ # powersave -c DYNAMIC tux:~ # lscpu Architecture: i686 CPU(s): 2 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 CPU socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD CPU family: 16 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 1400.000 Virtualization: AMD-V L1d cache: 64K L1i cache: 64K L2 cache: 512K L3 cache: 2048K tux:~ # powersave --help ... CPUFreq modes: -f, --performance-speed set cpufreq to performance mode -l, --powersave-speed set cpufreq to powersave mode -A, --dynamic-speed set cpufreq to dynamic mode -c, --cpufreq-state-info print out the current cpufreq policy tux:~ # powersave -f tux:~ # powersave -c PERFORMANCE tux:~ # lscpu Architecture: i686 CPU(s): 2 Thread(s) per core: 1 Core(s) per socket: 2 CPU socket(s): 1 NUMA node(s): 1 Vendor ID: AuthenticAMD CPU family: 16 Model: 2 Stepping: 3 CPU MHz: 2700.000 Virtualization: AMD-V L1d cache: 64K L1i cache: 64K L2 cache: 512K L3 cache: 2048K --------- how do you figure its useless? such big words.... powersave -f is exactly what you are looking for. it sets the cpu to maximum performance level, and prevents downgrading the frequency, and so on. the cpu got from dynamic (1400mhz only during idle) to 2700mhz during idle, so no more powersaving. ofcourse, this all depends on your platform, cpu, chipset and whatnot. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
