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.

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

161 transitions).

172 depends on CPU_FREQ
173 help
174 'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
175 governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
176 its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
177 environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
178 rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
179
180 If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
181 the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
182 PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
183 step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
184 transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
