* Package name : linux-phc Version : 0.2.10 Upstream Author : Fabrice Bellamy, Roman Schwarze * URL : https://www.dedigentoo.org/trac/linux-phc/ * License : (GPL) Programming Lang: (C) Description : userspace interface to control the core voltage of processors Linux Processor Hardware Control is a patch for the Linux kernel that provides a userspace interface to control the core voltage of a computer processor(s). The main use of this interface is to lower the core voltage of a laptop's CPU ("undervolt"). The goal is to reduce the laptop's temperature so the cooling fan can safely run at a slower speed. Another goal of undervolting is to reduce the power consumption of a laptop and thus extend its battery lifetime. Linux-PHC also adds additional built-in frequency/voltage tables to the Linux kernel for some Pentium-M CPU models. This is particularly useful for laptops with broken ACPI that can't use the speedstep-centrino cpufreq driver at all. Linux-PHC currently only supports the Intel Pentium-M class of processors. The Intel Centrino Core duo/solo processors are also supported but with some limitations. The patch should work for kernels 2.6.15 - 2.6.21.
