Simple and configurable tool that dynamically switches turbo boost and the kernel governor in order to have a corresponding relationship between the computer's capabilities and the actual usage.
Another important variable is whether the machine is charging or using the
battery, depending on this state racf will use the corresponding
configuration profile.
This is intended mainly for battery based machines like laptops. Desktops could benefit, I haven't really thought about it that much (e.g. those systems would only be on the '[ac]' profile).
A rewrite of sacf in rust.
sh
racf --help
Note A very helpful flag is --run-once which, runs once; and thus no need
for racf to stay in the background. This way you can manually tweak your
system with the help of racf whenever you actually need it (might be useful
to put this in the status bar).
Currently you need to build it from source (not that big) with cargo
and then, optionally, move it to your PATH. In the example bellow I use
/usr/local/bin/ as the PREFIX (target) directory.
sh
cargo build --release
cp -f ./target/release/racf /usr/local/bin/
Alternatively use cargo install racf
This repo contains config.toml configuration example
with the respective documentation for it's parameters.
First create /etc/racf directory, then you can move or copy the config in that dir.
Note that on most systems you will need root to write to /etc
You can copy the config file when building with:
sh
mkdir -p /etc/racf
cp -f config.toml /etc/racf/config.toml
or simply copy and paste it.
