kernel images. This means that you -need- to be running Linux v2.5 or later that includes
the sysfs interface. This daemon will -not- work with the CPUFreq driver
interface included in Linux v2.4. Feel free to write your own daemon
to support that if you like; you can even use this as a starting point.
If there's enough clamoring for it, then maybe I'll whip up something.
You also need a CPU that supports frequency scaling and supports the CPUFreq
interface. This code has been tested on various AMD and PPC processors
It is not wise to run two concurrent cpu frequency adjusting programs, I have been running this daemon on my AMD laptop for over 2 years with no
for example, cpufreqd and powernowd simultaneously. problems to report, and it's nice that my laptop remains cool unless I'm
really doing something intensive, like watching DivX movies, without me
having to manually intervene and set the speed. I just recently bought an
Apple iBook G3, and powernowd-0.80 worked flawlessly on it right out of
the box.
Features:
This daemon's goal is simplicity and speed. It doesn't try and make
too many decisions for you. That's its beauty, but it may not be what
everyone's looking for. Some of the features this daemon has:
One, simple heuristic to determine CPU load: "user + sys" time.
Ignore "niced" programs (setiathome, itself, etc). In my mind this is
consistent with what is meant when someone 'nice's a program to begin
with. (configurable in v0.85+) Designed for CPU's that support more
then two speed states, but works well with anything. Very fast, low
overhead /proc/stat gathering (method stolen from procps). Supports SMP
Will automatically switch to 'userspace' governor. Care taken to make
the code non-root exploitable (but please audit for yourself first!)
Frequency step size is configurable (default to 100MHz/step) 4 different
behavioral modes to choose from (SINE, AGGRESSIVE, PASSIVE, LEAPS),
which determine the behavior when the load changes. Configurable from the
command line. Written in C for speed and simplicity. Logging to stdout
or syslog Configurable Polling frequency in milliseconds (defaults to 1s)
Configurable highwater/lowwater marks for CPU usage. (defaults 80/20%)
Many similar daemons use other methods to determine what speed to use,
such as battery status, AC status, temperature, fan status, etc. They all
have their place. I however feel that in the grand scheme of things none
of the above matters. When I'm not using my CPU, I don't care if it's
running at a slower speed. When I -am- using my CPU, I only need it to
be fast enough to handle the task at hand without hiccuping. And when I'm
taxing my CPU, I want it running full speed. That's all this daemon does,
monitor CPU load and adjust the speed accordingly. Since in all reality
my CPU is idle 99% of the time (or playing mp3's which it can easily do
at it's lowest speed rating), this by definition leads to low power usage,
low temperatures, low speed fans, and better battery life.

.SH NAME
powernowd \- control the speed and voltage of cpus
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B powernowd
.RI [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is a simple client to the cpufreq driver, and uses the sysfs interface
in Linux kernel version 2.6. You need a supported cpu, and a
kernel that supports sysfs to run this daemon.
The name is somewhat misleading, as any processor supported by the kernel
cpufreq driver will work, not just processors supporting AMD's
PowerNow! technology. This daemon works best with processors that support
more then 2 frequency steps, like those with AMD's PowerNow!, and Intel's
Pentium M family.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-h
Prints a help message.
.TP
.B \-d
Don't detach from terminal (default is to detach and run in the background)
.TP
.B \-v
Increase output verbosity, can be used more than once.
.TP
.B \-q
Quiet mode, only emergency output.
.TP
.B \-n
Include nice'd processes in calculations.
.TP
.B \-m
Modes of operation, 0 = SINE, 1 = AGGRESSIVE (default), 2 = PASSIVE, 3 = LEAPS
.TP
.B \-s
Frequency step in kHz (default = 100000)
.TP
.B \-p
Polling frequency in msecs (default = 1000)
.TP
.B \-u
CPU usage upper limit percentage [0 .. 100, default 80]
.TP
.B \-l
CPU usage lower limit percentage [0 .. 100, default 20]
.SH MODES
There are 4 modes supported by this client:
Mode 0, SINE, changes the frequency as a sine wave function, raising the
frequency by "step" Hz every time the CPU usage goes over 80%,
and decreases it by "step" Hz when the CPU usage falls under 20%.
Mode 1, AGGRESSIVE, changes frequency by a sawtooth function.
Immediately jumps to the highest frequency whenever CPU usage goes
over 80%, and decreases by "step" Hz as usage drops below
20%. This is the default behavior.
Mode 2, PASSIVE, is the inverse of AGGRESSIVE.
Immediately jump to lowest frequency when usage drops below 20%.
Raise by "step" Hz if it goes above 80%.
Mode 3, LEAPS, immediately jumps to the highest frequency if usage is above
80%, and immediately jumps to the lowest frequency if usage is below 20%.
.SH PHILOSOPHY
Why another CPUFreq client daemon?
Some other daemons are better suited for two speed states, and
toggle between two states based upon load. This daemon does a better job
handling intermediate steps.
Other daemons are written in Perl, Python, or C++. This is a simple C
program.
Some other daemons rely on APM or ACPI.
The sysfs interface to the 2.6
kernel is simple, completely sufficient, and completely portable to all
architectures that support the CPUfreq support in the kernel.
Some other daemons change thier behavior based upon battery status, AC
status, temperature, etc. What good is having a nice powerful laptop if
you can't use it at full speed, even for a few seconds, while on battery
power? This daemon just measures CPU load, and bases decisions solely
upon that.
SMP systems are supported, making this daemon useful for servers, too!
