Application To Slow CPU Speed To Test App Performance?

Hi,

I am a software developer who needs to test application engine performance on Kubuntu.
Is there an application for Kubuntu that would slow CPU speed down to test performance of an app?
Running Kubuntu 14.04 L.T.S. 64Bit on a fairly fast Intel Core i5 3GHz 4-core CPU...

Thanks!

Hi,

I guess what I need does not exist on Kubuntu.
Back in Gnome 2.x days there was a panel widget to see/modify the frequency of the CPU.
Does this exist on Kubuntu? if so what is it called?

Thanks!

Hi,

I found this plasmoid:
http://opendesktop.org/content/show.php?content=144809
and installed it, but it crashes with the following error message:
"KAuth returned an error code: 3"
(does the above two times then OS crashes and resets)

Anyone know how to make "plasmaCpuFreqUtility" work on Kubuntu 14.04 L.T.S. 64Bit?
Thanks!

Hi,

I got it working:
- Download compressed file
- Decompress downloaded file
- open Konsole in newly made folder
- "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ."
- "make"
- "sudo make install"

If all goes well then it will be displayed in Panel Options/Add Widget!

Thanks, I can underclock my 3GHz CPU to 800MHz now!
