Hi Eduardo, The merge window for 3.14 is now open and I'm wondering if you had a chance to look at these numbers? Thanks, Zoran On 30 December 2013 12:48, Zoran Markovic wrote: > Eduardo, > >>> What is the workload you're running besides the proprietary heater code? > I re-did experiments from Li

Hi Eduardo, I have some graphs created for Broadcom's Capri (Cortex-A9x2) device. I do a full temperature ramp using ARM-proprietary test, which heats it up to ~48C. By hot-unplugging CPU1 I can cool it down to ~40C within seconds. Let me know if you'd like to see the graphs. Regards, Zoran On 29

This patch implements a generic CPU hotplug cooling device. The implementation scales down the number of running CPUs when temperature increases through a thermal trip point and prevents booting CPUs until thermal conditions are restored. Upon restoration, the action of starting up a CPU is left to
