Re: CPU scaling problems

Well, I have looked at your config and read this and I don't seem to have `/sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/conservative/freq_step', even if the conservative governor is loaded. Any ideas on what might cause this? Francesco -- T

CPU scaling problems

Hi, I have installed Debian testing on a X1 Carbon, processor i5-3427U. My problem is the following: when the `ondemand' governor is active, the processor clock never scales up, it always stays at 800Mhz. The situation changes when using the `conservative' or the `performance' governors. More c

Bandwidth shaping

I run a little server, and I'd like to know if it is possible to give more bandwidth"priority" to certain process. With priority I mean that the one with the higher priority won't be limited in anyway, while the one with the lower will "adapt" to the traffic of the other. Thanks a lot. -- To UN
