Description

likwid-setFreq is a command line application that  mediates  the  request  from  likwid-setFrequencies(1)
       because setting a hardware thread's frequency and/or governor requires root privileges. When starting the
       daemon,  it  opens  a UNIX socket and waits for connects from LIKWID. When the connection is established,
       the library can send commands to likwid-setFreq to minimize overhead. This executable must be  suid-root.
       likwid-setFreq works with the 'acpu_cpufreq' and the 'intel_pstate' driver.

Name

       likwid-setFreq  -  Mediator  for  likwid-setFrequencies(1)  that  performs the actual setting of hardware
       thread's frequency and governor.
