Use 8 columns for each number ouput. We don't fit into 80 columns on most machines, so keep the format simple. Print frequency in MHz instead of GHz. We've got 8 columns now, so use them to show low frequency in a more natural unit. Many users didn't understand what %c0 meant, so re-name it to be %Busy. Add Avg_MHz column, which is the frequency that many users expect to see -- the total number of cycles executed over the measurement interval. People found the previous GHz to be confusing, since it was the speed only over the non-idle interval. That measurement has been re-named Bzy_MHz. Suggested-by: Dirk J.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP reports processor topology, frequency,
|
|
idle power-state statistics, temperature and power on modern X86 processors.
|
|
Either \fBcommand\fP is forked and statistics are printed
|
|
upon its completion, or statistics are printed periodically.
|
|
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP
|
|
must be run on root, and
|
|
minimally requires that the processor
|
|
supports an "invariant" TSC, plus the APERF and MPERF MSRs.
|
|
Additional information is reported depending on hardware counter support.
|
|
|
|

.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
Without any parameters, turbostat prints out counters ever 5 seconds.
|
|
(override interval with "-i sec" option, or specify a command
|
|
for turbostat to fork).
|
|
|
|
The first row of statistics is a summary for the entire system.
|
|
For residency % columns, the summary is a weighted average.
|
|
For Temperature columns, the summary is the column maximum.
|
|
For Watts columns, the summary is a system total.
|
|
Subsequent rows show per-CPU statistics.

The \fBmax efficiency\fP frequency, a.k.a. Low Frequency Mode, is the frequency
|
|
available at the minimum package voltage. The \fBTSC frequency\fP is the nominal
|
|
maximum frequency of the processor if turbo-mode were not available. This frequency
|
|
should be sustainable on all CPUs indefinitely, given nominal power and cooling.
|
|
The remaining rows show what maximum turbo frequency is possible
|
|
depending on the number of idle cores. Note that this information is
|
|
not available on all processors.
|
|
.SH FORK EXAMPLE
|
|
If turbostat is invoked with a command, it will fork that command
|
|
and output the statistics gathered when the command exits.
|
|
eg. Here a cycle soaker is run on 1 CPU (see %c0) for a few seconds
|
|
until ^C while the other CPUs are mostly idle:
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
root@ivy: turbostat cat /dev/zero > /dev/null

|

Above the cycle soaker drives cpu5 up its 3.8 GHz turbo limit
|
|
while the other processors are generally in various states of idle.
|
|
|
|
Note that cpu1 and cpu5 are HT siblings within core1.
|
|
As cpu5 is very busy, it prevents its sibling, cpu1,
|
|
from entering a c-state deeper than c1.
|
|
|
|
Note that the Avg_MHz column reflects the total number of cycles executed
|
|
divided by the measurement interval. If the %Busy column is 100%,
|
|
then the processor was running at that speed the entire interval.
|
|
The Avg_MHz multiplied by the %Busy results in the Bzy_MHz --
|
|
which is the average frequency while the processor was executing --
|
|
not including any non-busy idle time.
|
|
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
|
|
.B "turbostat "
|
|
must be run as root.
|
|
|
|
.B "turbostat "
|
|
reads hardware counters, but doesn't write them.
|
|
So it will not interfere with the OS or other programs, including
|
|
multiple invocations of itself.
|
|
|
|
\fBturbostat \fP
|
|
may work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29,
|
|
as \fBacpi-cpufreq \fPperiodically cleared the APERF and MPERF
|
|
in those kernels.
|
|
|
|
If the TSC column does not make sense, then
|
|
the other numbers will also make no sense.
|
|
Turbostat is lightweight, and its data collection is not atomic.
|
|
These issues are usually caused by an extremely short measurement
|
|
interval (much less than 1 second), or system activity that prevents
|
|
turbostat from being able to run on all CPUS to quickly collect data.
|
|
|
|
The APERF, MPERF MSRs are defined to count non-halted cycles.
|
|
Although it is not guaranteed by the architecture, turbostat assumes
|
|
that they count at TSC rate, which is true on all processors tested to date.
