| |
AMD Pstate driver support another firmware based autonomous mode with "amd_pstate=active" added to the kernel command line. In autonomous mode SMU firmware decides frequencies at 1 ms timescale based on workload utilization, usage in other IPs, infrastructure limits such as power, thermals and so on.
