Introduction

Dynamically adjust the CPU frequency limits across all cores for a specified duration.

Prerequisites

This feature is only supported on bare-metal hosts that expose CPU configuration interfaces under
/sys/devices/system/cpu.

Use Cases

  • Evaluate application performance under varying CPU frequencies.
  • Simulate CPU throttling scenarios caused by thermal or power constraints.

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionDefault
Minimum CPU Frequency (MHz)Specifies the minimum CPU frequency (in MHz). Must be within the supported range of the host CPU.1000
Maximum CPU Frequency (MHz)Specifies the maximum CPU frequency (in MHz). Must be within the supported range of the host CPU.2000
DurationDefines how long the CPU frequency limits remain in effect.60s
