Howto change cpu governor permanently?

[Przemas]

I'm trying to switch to "performance" type of governor as I use Centos for my 3d work and I need every bit of performance I can squeeze, not worried about power saving much.
By default Centos is set to "powersave" governor. I've used to make the switch:

Code: Select all

echo performance | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

but the system reverts to "powersave" after reboot. Howto make those changes permanent?

Try running tuned-adm list and also read man tuned-adm

thx - how can I see available profiles for tuned-adm and what they do?
edit: ok, found RHEL help page about those.

edit: also it does not seem the most straightforward solution. It does a lot more than switching cpu governor. Any other ways to switch to performance cpu governor permanently?

Are there any bios settings?
Yould create a systemd service to start the command at boot (or cheat and put it in /etc/rc.local).

those are not bios related settings tunk .

Anyways thx again goes to TrevorH. In the end I've decided to use his solution, even tuned-adm does a whole lot more than switching the cpu governor. It was simply super easy to just use "throughput-performance" profile, rather than digging for a way to set governor only.
