cpufreq-set: Set the current minimum CPU frequency of CPU 1.

cpufreq-set

$ sudo cpufreq-set -c ${1} --min ${min_frequency}

try on your machine

This command is used to set the minimum frequency of the CPU (Central Processing Unit) on a Linux system. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

sudo: It is used to execute the subsequent command as a superuser or root user. This is necessary because changing CPU frequency settings typically requires administrative privileges.
cpufreq-set: It is a command-line tool that allows you to modify the CPU frequency settings.
-c ${1}: It specifies the CPU core for which you want to set the frequency. The ${1} here refers to the first command-line argument passed to the script or command. For example, if you run the command as command.sh 2, it will set the frequency for the CPU core 2.
--min ${min_frequency}: This option sets the minimum frequency for the specified CPU core. The ${min_frequency} represents the value of the minimum frequency you want to set for the CPU. You need to replace ${min_frequency} with the desired value.

By running this command with appropriate values for ${1} and ${min_frequency}, you can adjust the minimum frequency of the CPU core and control its power and performance behavior.
