Subject: [PATCH v5 0/9] Implement AMD Pstate EPP Driver
Hi all,
This patchset implements one new AMD CPU frequency driver
"amd-pstate-epp” instance for better performance and power control.
CPPC has a parameter called energy preference performance (EPP).
The EPP is used in the CCLK DPM controller to drive the frequency that a core
is going to operate during short periods of activity.
EPP values will be utilized for different OS profiles (balanced, performance, power savings).
AMD Energy Performance Preference (EPP) provides a hint to the hardware
if software wants to bias toward performance (0x0) or energy efficiency (0xff)
The lowlevel power firmware will calculate the runtime frequency according to the EPP preference
value. So the EPP hint will impact the CPU cores frequency responsiveness.
We use the RAPL interface with "perf" tool to get the energy data of the package power.
Performance Per Watt (PPW) Calculation:
The PPW calculation is referred by below paper:
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoftware.intel.com%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fdevelop%2Fexternal%2Fus%2Fen%2Fdocuments%2Fperformance-per-what-paper.pdf&data=04%7C01%7CPerry.Yuan%40amd.com%7Cac66e8ce98044e9b062708d9ab47c8d8%7C3dd8961fe4884e608e11a82d994e183d%7C0%7C0%7C637729147708574423%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=TPOvCE%2Frbb0ptBreWNxHqOi9YnVhcHGKG88vviDLb00%3D&reserved=0
Below formula is referred from below spec to measure the PPW:
(F / t) / P = F * t / (t * E) = F / E,
"F" is the number of frames per second.
"P" is power measured in watts.
"E" is energy measured in joules.
