[Request: intel_pstate module support]

yep, you're right. tnx

[Drivers requests for DSM 5.2]

Hi Sancome,

since many new cpus (N3700 Braswell for ex.) cannot be used at the maximum performances with acpi_freq,

can you compile intel_pstate module in the next release?

I would like to try if it will raise correctly.

 

thanks

[cpufreq and powernow-k8 modules]

I added insmod in the same script and it's running fine

thanks sancome

Maybe "conservative" governor is better for nas? In FreeNAS it's default governor. I have switched from ondemand, cpu now sit with lowest frequencies, occasionally switch to higher ones. Witch ondemand it jumps from min to max frequency, ommiting middle cpu states.

 

You're right, it should be better. There is no need to quick spikes.

Thanks neverstopdreaming .

Can you tell how you get the first step?

Or better what you do exactly?

 

Just execute the insmod.. command.

Then you can see with "dmesg" command if the module identifies you CPU.

 

the echo commands are necessary to change the CPU governor for each CPU (core) you have.

Hi Sancome,

thanks for the new version! XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.1-5022.3 works fine for AMD CPU:

 

[  168.210238] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD E-350 Processor (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
[  168.210311] powernow-k8:    0 : pstate 0 (1600 MHz)
[  168.210315] powernow-k8:    1 : pstate 1 (1280 MHz)
[  168.210318] powernow-k8:    2 : pstate 2 (800 MHz)

 

I just needed to load the module and change the governor to ondemand:

insmod /lib/modules/powernow-k8.ko
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

 grep "MHz" /proc/cpuinfo 
cpu MHz         : 800.000
cpu MHz         : 800.000

 

Can you suggest where should I put them to load on boot? Some /etc/init/rc.* should be fine?

 

thanks

[cpufreq and powernow-k8 modules]

Hi Sancome,

would you add powernow-k8 module and cpufreq-utils or cpupower utilties in the next build?

It would be fine to limit CPU power when unused also on AMD cpu. In kernel 3.2 acpi-cpufreq module is not able to handle AMD cpu yet.

 

thanks
