The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
|
|
requirements
|
------------
|
|
On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
|
For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
|
providing cpuid.h is needed.
|
For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
|
|
|
libcpupower
|
----------
|
|
"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
|
tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
|
allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
|
the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
|
interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
|
|
|
compilation and installation
|
----------------------------
|
|
make
|
su
|
make install
|
|
should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
|
/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
|
cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
|
differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
|
needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
|
edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.

THANKS
|
------
|
Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
|
libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
|
to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
|
powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
|
and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
|
cpupower.
