CPU Scaling
CPU Scaling refers to the ability of a computer's central processing unit to adjust its performance based on the workload. When the demand for processing power increases, the CPU can boost its speed to handle tasks more efficiently. Conversely, during lighter workloads, it can reduce its speed to save energy and reduce heat generation.
There are two main types of CPU scaling: dynamic scaling and static scaling. Dynamic scaling allows the CPU to change its performance in real-time, while static scaling involves preset configurations. Both methods help optimize performance and energy consumption, ensuring that the system runs smoothly under varying conditions.
