AMD Posts Linux Patches For EPYC To Further Enhance Performance-Per-Watt By Default
Making for an exciting Monday morning, AMD Linux engineers have kicked off the new week with a patch series introducing an exciting and long-awaited change: using the AMD P-State CPU frequency scaling driver by default for EPYC server platforms moving forward rather than the ACPI CPUFreq driver.
Making for an exciting Monday morning, AMD Linux engineers have kicked off the new week with a patch series introducing an exciting and long-awaited change: using the AMD P-State CPU frequency scaling driver by default for EPYC server platforms moving forward rather than the ACPI CPUFreq driver. Hitting the Linux kernel mailing list this Monday morning are two patches for beginning to default to using AMD P-State for EPYC platforms. In addition to the change to make amd_pstate default to EPYC 9005 (Family 1Ah), the other patch is for preventing frequency throttling on power-limited systems with AMD P-State active mode while using the performance governor.
