Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for Linux based on active monitoring of laptop's battery state, CPU usage and system load. Ultimately allowing you to improve battery life without making any compromises.
One of the problems with Linux today on laptops is that CPU will run in unoptimized manner which will negatively reflect on battery life. For example, CPU will run using "performance" governor with turbo boost enabled regardless if it's plugged in to power or not.
Issue can be mitigated by using tools like [indicator-cpufreq](https://itsfoss.com/cpufreq-ubuntu/) or [cpufreq](https://github.com/konkor/cpufreq), but these still require maual action from your side which can be daunting and cumbersome.
Using tools like [TLP](https://github.com/linrunner/TLP) will help in this situation with extending battery life (which is something I did for numerous years now), but it also might come with its own set of problems, like loosing turbo boost.
With that said, I needed a simple tool which would automatically make "cpufreq" related changes, save bettery like TLP, but let Linux kernel do most of the heavy lifting. That's how auto-cpufreq was born.
No changes are made to the system, and is solely made for demonstration purposes what auto-cpufreq could do differently for your system.
#### Live
`sudo python3 auto-cpufreq.py --live`
Necessary changes are temporarily made to the system, this mode is made to evaluate what the system would behave with auto-cpufreq permanently running on the system.
Necessary changes are made to the system for auto-cpufreq CPU optimizaton to persist across reboots. Daemon is deployed and then started by a systemd service. Changes are made automatically and live log is made for monitoring purposes.
