linux-cpu-manager

Linux CPU manager is a service that allows the user to control CPU performance modes via included governors and prevent overheating with the included pre-emptive throttling functionality.

Work in progress.

How to run

This service is guaranteed to run on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04. It may run on other recent distributions, too, such as Arch Linux, but at this point others have not been tested.

  1. Make sure that thermald is not running and in a disabled state as it conflicts with the CPU manager. Run sudo systemctl disable thermald.service and sudo systemctl stop thermald.service to make sure that it is not running.

  2. To deploy the dbus config file, run sudo bash deploy-dbus-conf.sh

  3. Start the service with sudo python3 src/btd-service. The service should be running with debug output in the console.

  4. To change the governor, run python3 src/btd-client 'governor-name-here'. Example of setting the governor to powersave mode: python3 src/btd-client powersave
