cpufreq-set: Set the CPU frequency policy of CPU 1 to "userspace".
$ sudo cpufreq-set -c ${1} -g ${userspace}
try on your machine

This command is used to set the CPU frequency scaling governor for a specific CPU/core in a Linux system.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo" is a command that allows the user to execute a command as a superuser or root.
  • "cpufreq-set" is the command used to modify the CPU frequency scaling settings.
  • "-c ${1}" specifies the CPU/core number for which the governor is being set. The "${1}" is a placeholder that represents the first argument passed to the command when executed.
  • "-g ${userspace}" sets the CPU frequency scaling governor to "userspace". Again, "${userspace}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual governor value.

In summary, this command with the appropriate values replaces the scaling governor for a specific CPU/core with the desired governor.
