I am not a fan of the ondemand governor as it only jumps from lowesr to highest speeds. ______________________________________________________________________ ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [powersave - Help] RE: FEATURE REQUEST:Conservative governor support Date: Wednesday 05 April 2006 19:56 From: "SourceForge.net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3670963 By: seife This has been brought up before. It has low priority because: - the conservative governor is not as stable as ondemand, lately it gained some publicity on lkml due to bugs. - we are setting the ondemand parameters in a way that it does not switch as fast and in fact behaves almost exactly like our userspace implementation which got lots of tuning and testing over the years. > I am not a fan of the ondemand governor as it only jumps from lowesr to > highest speeds. This is simply not true with the parameters we configure in powersaved for the ondemand governor. Per default, you may be right, but not when used in combination with powersaved. ______________________________________________________________________ ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [powersave - Help] RE: FEATURE REQUEST:Conservative governor support Date: Thursday 06 April 2006 03:27 From: "SourceForge.net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3671835 By: beatryder >> I am not a fan of the ondemand governor as it only jumps from lowesr to >> highest speeds. >This is simply not true with the parameters we configure in powersaved for the ondemand governor. Per default, you may be right, but not when used in combination with powersaved. I understand that, however you cannot be so sure. My experience has been that it has *never* not once used a speed between min and max. The conservative governor does. ______________________________________________________________________ ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [powersave - Help] RE: FEATURE REQUEST:Conservative governor support Date: Thursday 06 April 2006 03:50 From: "SourceForge.net" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read and respond to this message at: https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3671856 By: beatryder After doing some reading on lkml, I have found some bugs regarding the conservative. None how ever that cause instability, or data corruption. For the most part the only problem is that it just does not work. Also, I have found documentation that states: " The CPUfreq governor "conservative", much like the "ondemand" +governor, sets the CPU depending on the current usage. It differs in +behaviour in that it gracefully increases and decreases the CPU speed +rather than jumping to max speed the moment there is any load on the +CPU. " http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/29/41 now I realize that it does not say directly in the documentation that the ondemand jumps from min to max, but the above quote certainly impies it. As does my experience. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
