cpufreq-aperf(1)cpufreq-aperf(1)NAMEcpufreq-aperf - Calculates the average frequency over a time period
SYNTAXcpufreq-aperf [options]
DESCRIPTION
On latest processors exist two MSR registers refered to as:
- MPERF increasing with maxium (P0) frequency in C0
- APERF increasing with current/actual frequency in C0
From this information the average frequency over a time period can be
calculated and this is what this tool does.
A nice falloff feature beside the average frequency is the time a pro‐
cessor core remained in C0 (working state) or any CX (sleep state) pro‐
cessor sleep state during the measured time period. This information
can be determined from the fact that MPERF only increases in C0 state.
OPTIONS-c --cpu <CPU>
The <CPU> core to measure - default all cores.
-i --interval <seconds>
Refresh rate - default 1 second.
-o --once
Exit after one interval.
-h --help
Prints the available options.
REMARKS
The msr driver must be loaded for this command to work.
