# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| powernowd: powernowd (a cpu frequency daemon) powernowd: powernowd: This is a very simple program that will adjust the speed of your CPU powernowd: depending on system load. It works as a client of the CPUFreq driver. powernowd: It is designed for use with CPU's supporting AMD's PowerNow power powernowd: management scheme, as it's algorithm works better if there are more powernowd: then two CPU speeds available. (aka, ARM, AMD K6/K7, Via C3, and powernowd: Crusoe as opposed to traditional Intel and Ultrasparc). powernowd: powernowd: powernowd:
