Description

There are use cases in which the processor shares power budget with some other data-processing devices, like a GPU. In those cases it may be possible to improve the performance of the system by limiting the maximum frequency of CPUs. We will discuss possible ways to utilize this observation in the Linux kernel.

See https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/20200428032258.2518-1-currojerez@riseup.net/ for one possible approach to this problem.
