Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC)
|
|
|
|
CPPC defined in the ACPI spec describes a mechanism for the OS to manage the
|
|
performance of a logical processor on a contigious and abstract performance
|
|
scale. CPPC exposes a set of registers to describe abstract performance scale,
|
|
to request performance levels and to measure per-cpu delivered performance.
|
|
|
|
For more details on CPPC please refer to the ACPI specification at:
|
|
|
|
http://uefi.org/specifications
|
|
|
|
Some of the CPPC registers are exposed via sysfs under:
|
|
|
|
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/acpi_cppc/
|
|
|
|
for each cpu X
|

|
|
|
* highest_perf : Highest performance of this processor (abstract scale).
|
|
* nominal_perf : Highest sustained performance of this processor (abstract scale).
|
|
* lowest_nonlinear_perf : Lowest performance of this processor with nonlinear
|
|
power savings (abstract scale).
|
|
* lowest_perf : Lowest performance of this processor (abstract scale).
|
|
|
|
* lowest_freq : CPU frequency corresponding to lowest_perf (in MHz).
|
|
* nominal_freq : CPU frequency corresponding to nominal_perf (in MHz).
|
|
The above frequencies should only be used to report processor performance in
|
|
freqency instead of abstract scale. These values should not be used for any
|
|
functional decisions.
|
|
|
|
* feedback_ctrs : Includes both Reference and delivered performance counter.
|
|
Reference counter ticks up proportional to processor's reference performance.
|
|
Delivered counter ticks up proportional to processor's delivered performance.
|
|
* wraparound_time: Minimum time for the feedback counters to wraparound (seconds).
|
|
* reference_perf : Performance level at which reference performance counter
|
|
accumulates (abstract scale).

Computing Average Delivered Performance
|
|
|
|
Below describes the steps to compute the average performance delivered by taking
|
|
two different snapshots of feedback counters at time T1 and T2.
|
|
|
|
T1: Read feedback_ctrs as fbc_t1
|
|
Wait or run some workload
|
|
T2: Read feedback_ctrs as fbc_t2
|
|
|
|
delivered_counter_delta = fbc_t2[del] - fbc_t1[del]
|
|
reference_counter_delta = fbc_t2[ref] - fbc_t1[ref]
|
|
|
|
delivered_perf = (refernce_perf x delivered_counter_delta) / reference_counter_delta
