NAME

       intel_lpmd - Intel Energy Optimizer (LPMD) Daemon

SYNOPSIS

       intel_lpmd  [ OPTIONS ]

DESCRIPTION

       intel_lpmd  is  a  Linux daemon used for energy optimization on Intel hybrid systems.  This daemon uses a
       configuration file "intel_lpmd_config.xml".  Based on the configuration, it will choose right set of CPUs
       to enable. For example, this daemon can monitor system utilization and choose a set of low power CPUs  to
       enable  and  disable  the rest.  This enable disable of CPUs are done using Linux cpuset feature of intel
       power clamp driver.

       There is a control  utility  distributed  along  with  this  daemon.   This  control  utility  is  called
       "intel_lpmd_control".  This  utility  can  be  used to set different modes for this daemon.  For example:
       intel_lpmd_control ON      To turn on low power mode operation.  intel_lpmd_control OFF      To turn  off
       low power mode operation.  intel_lpmd_control AUTO      To turn on low power mode operation in auto mode,
       which      allows low power mode based on system utilization.
