1config CPU_FREQ
2 bool "CPU Frequency scaling"
3 help
4 CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
5 CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
6 the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
7
8 Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
9 clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
10 (see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.
11
12 For details, take a look at <file:Documentation/cpu-freq>.
13
14 If in doubt, say N.

143 'ondemand' - This driver adds a dynamic cpufreq policy governor.
144 The governor does a periodic polling and
145 changes frequency based on the CPU utilization.

147 do fast frequency switching (i.e, very low latency frequency
148 transitions).

159 depends on CPU_FREQ
160 help
161 'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
162 governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
163 its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
164 environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
165 rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
166
167 If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
168 the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
169 PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
170 step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
171 transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
