A daemon which controls the frequency and voltage of CPUs. This userland program adjusts the frequency and voltage (including over-/undervolting) according to the CPUs load. Currently it supports only AMD K8 processors like Athlon(64) (X2), Sempron ....
handy little tool
* Some messages format corrected. * Startscript improved. * Low level functions for read and write file in libcpupowerd removed. * Some minor changes.
Minor bugfix release.
31.10.2008: 0.2.0 * FreeBSD support added. * Security exit handling on unproper governor/frequency change. If other program adjusts the governor/frequency more than 10 times in an hour a security exit will be done. * Surpress allowed frequencies in the config file. If you don't want use all available frequencies, you can delete or comment out with # the relevant lines in the autogenerated config file. * Parameter -f (foreground mode) removed. If you don't use the daemon mode, you are automatically in foreground mode. * New -m (messagelevel) parameter for message level handling added. Possible values: 0 (only error messages), 1 (0 + warning messages, default), 2 (1 + info messages). In the daemon mode, messages are send to syslog daemon, to stdout otherwise. * CPU layer removed from maintenance and coreid renamed to cpuid. cpupowerd now controls the frequency of the mastercpu(s) and don't need to know details about the physical cpus. * Linux start script added. In the folder /tools a linux start script is available. It loads all the necessary kernel moduls and starts cpupowerd. In case a needed kernel modul isn't available, the start script exits with an error message. The possible parameters of the script is start, stop and restart. You may edit the script before running it if you want to change the cpupowerd start parameters.
This release introduces FreeBSD support and contains small changes for Linux (e.g. Startscript added). Please have a look at the changelog for the exact details.
05.06.2008: 0.1.2 * Compiler in Makefile from gcc to cc changed. * Version number adjusted.
Uncritical bugfix release - the version number in 0.1.1 wasn't updated.
A possible integer overflow was detected. Please update your cpupowerd version to the newer one.
