31.SH "REMARKS"
32.LP
33By default values are applied on all cores. How to modify single core
34configurations is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the \-\-cpu option section.
35.LP
36The \-f FREQ, \-\-freq FREQ parameter cannot be combined with any other parameter.
37.LP
38FREQuencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz by postfixing the value with the wanted unit name, without any space (frequency in kHz =^ Hz * 0.001 =^ MHz * 1000 =^ GHz * 1000000).
39.LP
40On Linux kernels up to 2.6.29, the \-r or \-\-related parameter is ignored.
