Loongson 3 CPUFreq Linux Driver Being Worked On For Better Power/Performance
While Loongson's LoongArch processors have been supported under Linux from the start, there remain some missing/late elements still being pursued by Loongson engineers for better upstream support
One of the areas being worked on recently is a proper CPUFreq driver for Loongson 3 series processors for CPU frequency scaling for better performance and power management. Posted for review last month are patches implementing a basic Longson-3 CPUFreq driver for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). But at least for now the SMC can be interacted with and the target frequency can be manually set along with other basic functionality.About The AuthorMichael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
