.SH NAME
intel_lpmd \- Intel Energy Optimizer (LPMD) Daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B intel_lpmd
.RI " [ " OPTIONS " ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B intel_lpmd
is a Linux daemon used for energy optimization on Intel hybrid systems.
This daemon uses a configuration file "intel_lpmd_config.xml".
Based on the configuration, it will choose right set of CPUs
to enable. For example, this daemon can monitor system utilization
and choose a set of low power CPUs to enable and disable the rest.
This enable disable of CPUs are done using Linux cpuset feature
of intel power clamp driver.

There is a control utility distributed along with this daemon.
This control utility is called "intel_lpmd_control". This utility
can be used to set different modes for this daemon.
For example:
intel_lpmd_control ON
	To turn on low power mode operation.
intel_lpmd_control OFF
	To turn off low power mode operation.
intel_lpmd_control AUTO
	To turn on low power mode operation in auto mode, which
	allows low power mode based on system utilization.
