hiho

is there a program to check N900's cpu clock

a benchmark would help as well...

thanks in advance

for a very basic check, you can do (in xtermnal)

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Edit: Wrong! See below..

Oops, I should have said:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
There's other stuff in the same directory:

Code:
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
600000 550000 500000 250000

~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
600000 50910
550000 1552
500000 18403
250000 838257

thx kwotski

but for now its not possible to check the actual cpu clock?

maybe someone could write an app based on the commands u mentioned...

It'll vary by as much as 400MHz several times a second. Why do you care?

i guess a rolling average is what is being asked for?

Yeah, I think you really want a benchmark, probably

You won't get much closer to the "actual" clock than reading stuff out of /proc, since (though it looks like a file) the data I mentioned in there is in fact directly accessing data placed in RAM by the kernel routines that are the best informed of anyone about what state the clock is at least supposed to be in.

For a quick "rolling average 'app'" you could try running:

Code:
watch -n 1 "perl -ne 'if(/(\d+)\s+(\d+)/){\$c += \$1 * \$2; \$t += \$2; }END{ \$a = \$c / \$t; print \"\$c cycles in \$t secs, avg: \$a\n\";}' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state"
in x-term

At this time of night, I'm not guaranteeing the arithmetic..

OK, how about powertop?

Would it be possible to take the governor off the cpu clock? I believe it is currently under clocked to increase battery performance.
