Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cpupower: implement the multi-cpu monitoring of programs
Date: Wed, 12 May 2021 07:26:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210512112658.89965-1-someguy@effective-light.com> (raw)

If we look inside cpupower/ToDo, the current 6th point makes mention of
a method to implement multi-cpu monitoring without introducing noise to
the tested program itself.
