.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP reports processor topology, frequency
|
|
and idle power state statistics on modern X86 processors.
|
|
Either \fBcommand\fP is forked and statistics are printed
|
|
upon its completion, or statistics are printed periodically.
|
|
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP
|
|
requires that the processor
|
|
supports an "invariant" TSC, plus the APERF and MPERF MSRs.
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP will report idle cpu power state residency
|
|
on processors that additionally support C-state residency counters.
|
|
|
|
.SS Options
|
|
The \fB-v\fP option increases verbosity.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB-M MSR#\fP option dumps the specified MSR,
|
|
in addition to the usual frequency and idle statistics.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB-i interval_sec\fP option prints statistics every \fiinterval_sec\fP seconds.
|
|
The default is 5 seconds.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBcommand\fP parameter forks \fBcommand\fP and upon its exit,
|
|
displays the statistics gathered since it was forked.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.SH FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
|
|

.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
Without any parameters, turbostat prints out counters ever 5 seconds.
|
|
(override interval with "-i sec" option, or specify a command
|
|
for turbostat to fork).
|
|
|
|
The first row of statistics reflect the average for the entire system.
|
|
Subsequent rows show per-CPU statistics.

.SH VERBOSE EXAMPLE
|
|
The "-v" option adds verbosity to the output:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
GenuineIntel 11 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 0x6:2c:2 (6:44:2)
|
|
12 * 133 = 1600 MHz max efficiency
|
|
25 * 133 = 3333 MHz TSC frequency
|
|
26 * 133 = 3467 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
|
|
26 * 133 = 3467 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
|
|
27 * 133 = 3600 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
|
|
27 * 133 = 3600 MHz max turbo 1 active cores
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
The \fBmax efficiency\fP frequency, a.k.a. Low Frequency Mode, is the frequency
|
|
available at the minimum package voltage. The \fBTSC frequency\fP is the nominal
|
|
maximum frequency of the processor if turbo-mode were not available. This frequency
|
|
should be sustainable on all CPUs indefinitely, given nominal power and cooling.
|
|
The remaining rows show what maximum turbo frequency is possible
|
|
depending on the number of idle cores. Note that this information is
|
|
not available on all processors.
|
|
.SH FORK EXAMPLE
|
|
If turbostat is invoked with a command, it will fork that command
|
|
and output the statistics gathered when the command exits.
|
|
eg. Here a cycle soaker is run on 1 CPU (see %c0) for a few seconds
|
|
until ^C while the other CPUs are mostly idle:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
[root@x980 lenb]# ./turbostat cat /dev/zero > /dev/null

Above the cycle soaker drives cpu9 up 3.6 Ghz turbo limit
|
|
while the other processors are generally in various states of idle.
|
|
|
|
Note that cpu3 is an HT sibling sharing core9
|
|
with cpu9, and thus it is unable to get to an idle state
|
|
deeper than c1 while cpu9 is busy.
|
|
|
|
Note that turbostat reports average GHz of 3.61, while
|
|
the arithmetic average of the GHz column above is 3.24.
|
|
This is a weighted average, where the weight is %c0. ie. it is the total number of
|
|
un-halted cycles elapsed per time divided by the number of CPUs.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
.B "turbostat "
|
|
must be run as root.
|
|
|
|
.B "turbostat "
|
|
reads hardware counters, but doesn't write them.
|
|
So it will not interfere with the OS or other programs, including
|
|
multiple invocations of itself.
|
|
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP
|
|
may work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29,
|
|
as \fBacpi-cpufreq \fPperiodically cleared the APERF and MPERF
|
|
in those kernels.
|
|
|
|
The APERF, MPERF MSRs are defined to count non-halted cycles.
|
|
Although it is not guaranteed by the architecture, turbostat assumes
|
|
that they count at TSC rate, which is true on all processors tested to date.
