Thank you very much!

Are these results you are mentioning publicly available?

Thanks in advance,
Victor

Yes, per core CPU frequency scaling works on quad cores starting from the Barcelona series including your chip which is a shanghai. And the powernow_k8 driver works perfectly. I have performed some tests confirming this including runtime tests using synthetic benchmarks.

    Hello,

    we are considering to buy a system with an AMD Opteron 2384
    processor. We want to conduct some experiments with dynamic
    voltage frequency scaling (DVFS).

    It seems the chips supports DVFS per core, so one core can be
    running at frequency X and the other core can do it at frequency
    Y. However, we are not sure how to access all the actuators to
    change frequency/voltage.

    Is cpufreq from Linux kernel supporting this? I could only find
    support for K8 microarchitectures and a patch to read the
    temperatures for K10 microarchitecture (e.g., Opteron 2384).
    However, we are not sure whether is it possible to perform DVFS
    for K10 microarchitecture using cpufreq.

    Does anyone know anything about this? Any plans to support K10 in
    cpufreq?

    Thanks in advance,
    Victor
