CPU frequency and voltage scaling code in the Linux(TM) kernel
L i n u x C P U F r e q
Dominik Brodowski <linux@brodo.de>
Clock scaling allows you to change the clock speed of the CPUs on the
fly. This is a nice method to save battery power, because the lower
the clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
