DVFS, Wikipedia An article that need to be written.

Switching Overhead

-p. 168: "Processor core (including shared cache) is unavailable for less than 2us during the frequency transition."
Power consumption table for 5600 by C-state
-p. 167: "Processor C-State Power Specifications" table power consumption by C-state
Power consumption table for several processors at different power management C-states
-20us transition overhead for all C-states?
-Overview charts on C-State configuration details wakeup times and power consumption
-Gives wakeup times, but don't know where they came from
-example power performance by P-states

DVFS Project Resources

Concise references for DVFS project from 2003 using speedstep on an IBM Thinkpad
Good linux kernel reference
  • Topic: Addressing the power cost of switching overhead in DVFS processors.

Experimental Setup
