Hi Sathvik, To get a feel of power management, you can download the current PAD(Power Aware Dispatcher) bits from the tesla page and see how it works on you AMD machine for various loads. Once you get a hang of it, might be can look where it needs improvement.
Can get a copy of the bits from "$ hg clone ssh://your-login at hg.opensolaris.org/hg/tesla/pad-gate" For CPU power management to work on your AMD system, make sure it supports the AMD "Powernow" capability.
