The Linux Thermal Daemon program from 01.org
Thermald deals with thermal issues for intel processor families codenamed
intel sandy-bridge and above.
Its is a Linux daemon used to prevent the overheating of systems.
This daemon monitors temperature and applies compensation using available
cooling methods.
Prerequisites:
Uses intel p-state driver and works with kernels 3.10 and above.
Prefers kernel with
Intel RAPL power capping driver : Available from Linux kernel 3.13.rc1
Intel P State driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
Intel Power clamp driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
CONFIG_X86_MSR, so that x86 MSR can be read/write from user space
to control RAPL if no RAPL powecap class driver is not present.
Default
If none of the above is available uses cpufreq to control P states.
