Subject: [PATCH 2/2] cpufreq: AMD "frequency sensitivity feedback" powersave bias for ondemand governor
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 17:37:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364423841-6920-3-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1364423841-6920-1-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.com>

Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software
with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change --
memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.
