+Thermald deals with thermal issues for Intel processor families
+codenamed Intel Sandy-Bridge and above. It is a Linux daemon
+used to prevent the overheating of systems. This daemon monitors
temperature and applies compensation using available cooling methods.
-Prefers kernel with:
- Intel RAPL power capping driver : Available from Linux kernel 3.13.rc1
- Intel P State driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
- Intel Power clamp driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
+Since this is a daemon, it can be started at boot via /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ /usr/sbin/thermald
- CONFIG_X86_MSR, so that x86 MSR can be read/write from user space
- to control RAPL if no RAPL powecap class driver is not present.
+An entry could be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown as well:
+ killall thermald
- If none of the above is available uses cpufreq to control P states.
+Optional dependency: msr-tools
+
+To upgrade please remove thermal_daemon first and then install thermald.
