auto-epp-go

auto-epp-go is a program that manages the energy performance preferences (EPP) of your AMD CPU using the AMD-Pstate driver. It adjusts the EPP settings based on whether your system is running on AC power or battery power, helping optimize power consumption and performance. This project is a rewrite of the original Python version jothi-prasath/auto-epp in Golang, aiming to improve memory efficiency and overall performance.

Requirements

• AMD CPU with the AMD-Pstate-EPP driver enabled.
• Linux 6.3+
• Golang (make deps)

How to enable amd-pstate-epp

Note: Since Linux 6.5, amd-pstate-epp is enabled by default, so you can skip this section.

GRUB

This can be done by editing the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT params in /etc/default/grub. Follow these steps:

1. Open the grub file using the following command:

sudoedit /etc/default/grub

2. Within the file, modify the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line to include the setting for AMD P-State EPP:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash amd_pstate=active"

systemd-boot

This can be done by editing the options params in /efi/loader/entries/your-entry.conf. Follow these steps:

1. Open the grub file using the following command:

sudoedit /efi/loader/entries/your-entry.conf

2. Within the file, modify the options line to include the setting for AMD P-State EPP:

options    ... amd_pstate=active
