Subject: [patch 0/6] cpufreq: Use idle micro-accounting information in ondemand governor
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:55:54 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080717205554.214645000@intel.com> (raw)

Currently, ondemand governor uses jiffy based idle statistics which is
very coarse grained. As a result, ondemand uses a big gaurd band around
CPU utilization while calculating the next freq.

This patchset lets ondemand use idle microaccounting when available
(when tickless feature is present) and switches to a smaller gaurd band.
This lets us do more aggressive power savings in partial idle workloads.
