How to get Mali GPU's frequency

Hi Peter,

Thanks for reply. We are able to turn of DVFS for GPU. and seeing better performance. Now also want to check cache related settings of GPU. How can I check this?

Thanks,

There isn't really anything to check. It's an integral part of the GPU and automatically configured by the drivers at run-time.

Hi,

In kernel code, there is a clock frequency table. We modified this table in accordance with our required value.Sorry I don't remember exact file name, if you search DVFS, GPU, clock keywords in kernel code you will get it.

Thanks,

Hi nightskyz,

Some devices have a DVFS table in the /sys/ mali class, which lets you see all valid possible frequencies. You can then in theory change the governor, disable DVFS, and force the frequency to each of the values in the table, and test your app accordingly.

This is not Mali specific however, and down to the vendor to implement and expose, so different devices may or may not have this available to the user.

An example: On my Nexus 10 device

# cat /sys/devices/platform/mali.0/clock

Current sclk_g3d[G3D_BLK] = 450Mhz

Possible settings : 533, 450, 400, 350, 266, 160, 100Mhz

I hope that helps,

Kind Regards,
