+.TH TURBOSTAT 8
+.SH NAME
+turbostat \- Report processor frequency and idle statistics
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ft B
+.B turbostat
+.RB [ "\-v" ]
+.RB [ "\-M MSR#" ]
+.RB command
+.br
+.B turbostat
+.RB [ "\-v" ]
+.RB [ "\-M MSR#" ]
+.RB [ "\-i interval_sec" ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBturbostat \fP reports processor topology, frequency
+and idle power state statistics on modern X86 processors.
+Either \fBcommand\fP is forked and statistics are printed
+upon its completion, or statistics are printed periodically.
+
+\fBturbostat \fP
+requires that the processor
+supports an "invariant" TSC, plus the APERF and MPERF MSRs.
+\fBturbostat \fP will report idle cpu power state residency
+on processors that additionally support C-state residency counters.
+
+.SS Options
+The \fB-v\fP option increases verbosity.
+.PP
+The \fB-M MSR#\fP option dumps the specified MSR,
+in addition to the usual frequency and idle statistics.
+.PP
+The \fB-i interval_sec\fP option prints statistics every \fiinterval_sec\fP seconds.
+The default is 5 seconds.
+.PP
+The \fBcommand\fP parameter forks \fBcommand\fP and upon its exit,
+displays the statistics gathered since it was forked.
+.PP
+.SH FIELD DESCRIPTIONS
+.nf
+\fBpkg\fP processor package number.
+\fBcore\fP processor core number.
+\fBCPU\fP Linux CPU (logical processor) number.
+\fB%c0\fP percent of the interval that the CPU retired instructions.
+\fBGHz\fP average clock rate while the CPU was in c0 state.
+\fBTSC\fP average GHz that the TSC ran during the entire interval.
+\fB%c1, %c3, %c6\fP show the percentage residency in hardware core idle states.
+\fB%pc3, %pc6\fP percentage residency in hardware package idle states.
+.fi
+.PP
+.SH EXAMPLE
+Without any parameters, turbostat prints out counters ever 5 seconds.
+(override interval with "-i sec" option, or specify a command
+for turbostat to fork).
+
+The first row of statistics reflect the average for the entire system.
+Subsequent rows show per-CPU statistics.

+.SH VERBOSE EXAMPLE
+The "-v" option adds verbosity to the output:
+
+.nf
+GenuineIntel 11 CPUID levels; family:model:stepping 0x6:2c:2 (6:44:2)
+12 * 133 = 1600 MHz max efficiency
+25 * 133 = 3333 MHz TSC frequency
+26 * 133 = 3467 MHz max turbo 4 active cores
+26 * 133 = 3467 MHz max turbo 3 active cores
+27 * 133 = 3600 MHz max turbo 2 active cores
+27 * 133 = 3600 MHz max turbo 1 active cores
+
+.fi
+The \fBmax efficiency\fP frequency, a.k.a. Low Frequency Mode, is the frequency
+available at the minimum package voltage.  The \fBTSC frequency\fP is the nominal
+maximum frequency of the processor if turbo-mode were not available.  This frequency
+should be sustainable on all CPUs indefinitely, given nominal power and cooling.
+The remaining rows show what maximum turbo frequency is possible
+depending on the number of idle cores.  Note that this information is
+not available on all processors.
+.SH FORK EXAMPLE
+If turbostat is invoked with a command, it will fork that command
+and output the statistics gathered when the command exits.
+eg. Here a cycle soaker is run on 1 CPU (see %c0) for a few seconds
+until ^C while the other CPUs are mostly idle:
+
+.nf
+[root@x980 lenb]# ./turbostat cat /dev/zero > /dev/null

+.fi
+Above the cycle soaker drives cpu9 up 3.6 Ghz turbo limit
+while the other processors are generally in various states of idle.
+
+Note that cpu3 is an HT sibling sharing core9
+with cpu9, and thus it is unable to get to an idle state
+deeper than c1 while cpu9 is busy.
+
+Note that turbostat reports average GHz of 3.61, while
+the arithmetic average of the GHz column above is 3.24.
+This is a weighted average, where the weight is %c0.  ie. it is the total number of
+un-halted cycles elapsed per time divided by the number of CPUs.
+.SH NOTES
+
+.B "turbostat "
+must be run as root.
+
+.B "turbostat "
+reads hardware counters, but doesn't write them.
+So it will not interfere with the OS or other programs, including
+multiple invocations of itself.
+
+\fBturbostat \fP
+may work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29,
+as \fBacpi-cpufreq \fPperiodically cleared the APERF and MPERF
+in those kernels.
+
+The APERF, MPERF MSRs are defined to count non-halted cycles.
+Although it is not guaranteed by the architecture, turbostat assumes
+that they count at TSC rate, which is true on all processors tested to date.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBx86_energy_perf_policy\fP
+allows software to convey
+its policy for the relative importance of performance
+versus energy savings to the processor.
+
+The processor uses this information in model-specific ways
+when it must select trade-offs between performance and
+energy efficiency.
+
+This policy hint does not supersede Processor Performance states
+(P-states) or CPU Idle power states (C-states), but allows
+software to have influence where it would otherwise be unable
+to express a preference.
+
+For example, this setting may tell the hardware how
+aggressively or conservatively to control frequency
+in the "turbo range" above the explicitly OS-controlled
+P-state frequency range.  It may also tell the hardware
+how aggressively is should enter the OS requested C-states.
+
+Support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3
+per the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
+
+.SS Options
+\fB-c\fP limits operation to a single CPU.
+The default is to operate on all CPUs.
+Note that MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS is defined per
+logical processor, but that the initial implementations
+of the MSR were shared among all processors in each package.
+.PP
+\fB-v\fP increases verbosity.  By default
+x86_energy_perf_policy is silent.
+.PP
+\fB-r\fP is for "read-only" mode - the unchanged state
+is read and displayed.
+.PP
+.I performance
+Set a policy where performance is paramount.
+The processor will be unwilling to sacrifice any performance
+for the sake of energy saving. This is the hardware default.
+.PP
+.I normal
+Set a policy with a normal balance between performance and energy efficiency.
+The processor will tolerate minor performance compromise
+for potentially significant energy savings.
+This reasonable default for most desktops and servers.
+.PP
+.I powersave
+Set a policy where the processor can accept
+a measurable performance hit to maximize energy efficiency.
+.PP
+.I n
+Set MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS to the specified number.
+The range of valid numbers is 0-15, where 0 is maximum
+performance and 15 is maximum energy efficiency.
