It works as a client of the CPUFreq driver. +It is designed for use with CPU's supporting AMD's PowerNow power +management scheme, as it's algorithm works better if there are more +than two CPU speeds available. (aka, ARM, AMD K6/K7, Via C3, and +Crusoe as opposed to traditional Intel and Ultrasparc). + +Powernowd uses the userspace governor, which is included in the Slackware +kernel images. + +It is not wise to run two concurrent cpu frequency adjusting programs, +for example, cpufreqd and powernowd simultaneously. |
