Description
|

-----------
|
||||
|
||||
1) Processor TDP (Thermal design power)
|
||||
|
||||
Given a fixed frequency and voltage, the power consumption of a
|
||||
processor varies based on the workload being executed. Derated power
|
||||
is the power consumed when running a specific application. Thermal
|
||||
design power (TDP) is an example of derated power.
|
||||
|
||||
This driver permits reading of registers providing power information
|
||||
of AMD Family 15h and 16h processors.
|
||||
of AMD Family 15h and 16h processors via TDP algorithm.
|
||||
|
||||
For AMD Family 15h and 16h processors the following power values can
|
||||
be calculated using different processor northbridge function
|
||||
|
@ -37,3 +45,58 @@ This driver provides ProcessorPwrWatts and 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.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Accumulated Power Mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
This driver also introduces an algorithm that should be used to
|
||||
calculate the average power consumed by a processor during a
|
||||
measurement interval Tm. The feature of accumulated power mechanism is
|
||||
indicated by CPUID Fn8000_0007_EDX[12].
|
||||
|
||||
* Tsample: compute unit power accumulator sample period
|
||||
* Tref: the PTSC counter period
|
||||
* PTSC: performance timestamp counter
|
||||
* N: the ratio of compute unit power accumulator sample period to the
|
||||
PTSC period
|
||||
* Jmax: max compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
|
||||
MaxCpuSwPwrAcc MSR C001007b
|
||||
* Jx/Jy: compute unit accumulated power which is indicated by
|
||||
CpuSwPwrAcc MSR C001007a
|
||||
* Tx/Ty: the value of performance timestamp counter which is indicated
|
||||
by CU_PTSC MSR C0010280
|
||||
* PwrCPUave: CPU average power
|
||||
|
||||
i. Determine the ratio of Tsample to Tref by executing CPUID Fn8000_0007.
|
||||
N = value of CPUID Fn8000_0007_ECX[CpuPwrSampleTimeRatio[15:0]].
|
||||
|
||||
ii. Read the full range of the cumulative energy value from the new
|
||||
MSR MaxCpuSwPwrAcc.
|
||||
Jmax = value returned.
|
||||
iii. At time x, SW reads CpuSwPwrAcc MSR and samples the PTSC.
|
||||
Jx = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Tx = value read from
|
||||
PTSC.
|
||||
|
||||
iv. At time y, SW reads CpuSwPwrAcc MSR and samples the PTSC.
|
||||
Jy = value read from CpuSwPwrAcc and Ty = value read from
|
||||
PTSC.
|
||||
|
||||
v. Calculate the average power consumption for a compute unit over
|
||||
time period (y-x). Unit of result is uWatt.
|
||||
if (Jy < Jx) // Rollover has occurred
|
||||
Jdelta = (Jy + Jmax) - Jx
|
||||
else
|
||||
Jdelta = Jy - Jx
|
||||
PwrCPUave = N * Jdelta * 1000 / (Ty - Tx)
|
||||
|
||||
This driver provides PwrCPUave and interval(default is 10 millisecond
|
||||
and maximum is 1 second):
|
||||
* power1_average (PwrCPUave)
|
||||
* power1_average_interval (Interval)
|
||||
|
||||
The power1_average_interval can be updated at /etc/sensors3.conf file
|
||||
as below:
|
||||
|
||||
chip "fam15h_power-*"
|
||||
set power1_average_interval 0.01
|
||||
|
||||
Then save it with "sensors -s".
