Hi, I am a PhD student doing research in DVFS area. I have few questions for which I am looking for an answer. It would be great if some one could give some pointers. 1) In my current Core2Duo laptop, "maximum transition latency" from cpufreq-info command is 10us. Hence I get that to change the frequency of my cpu it takes 10us. Also recent research papers say that the frequency of the processor can be changed in ns scale (eg. 10 ns - 100ns). If that is the case, can processor frequency be still modified thru OS? Will OS be able to handle such a fine grained frequency change? 2) Currently the frequency change is handled by governors. But is it possible to change the frequency of a cpu directly by calling the CPU-driver functions from another part of the kernel? Thanks for your time, karthik -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
