Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver permits reading of registers providing power information
|
||
|
|
of AMD Family 15h processors.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For AMD Family 15h processors the following power values can be
|
||
|
|
calculated using different processor northbridge function registers:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* BasePwrWatts: Specifies in watts the maximum amount of power
|
||
|
|
consumed by the processor for NB and logic external to the core.
|
||
|
|
* ProcessorPwrWatts: Specifies in watts the maximum amount of power
|
||
|
|
the processor can support.
|
||
|
|
* CurrPwrWatts: Specifies in watts the current amount of power being
|
||
|
|
consumed by the processor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This driver provides ProcessorPwrWatts and CurrPwrWatts:
|
||
|
|
* power1_crit (ProcessorPwrWatts)
|
||
|
|
* power1_input (CurrPwrWatts)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On multi-node processors the calculated value is for the entire
|
||
|
|
package and not for a single node. Thus the driver creates sysfs
|
||
|
|
attributes only for internal node0 of a multi-node processor.
