clock

Theclockcommand allows you to change the clock frequencies driving the computing units. Note that your compute units must be capable or running at the specified clock. You can modify both clock1 and clock2 using this command.

It has the following options:

  • -d (Optional): Specifies the target card. Default = 0 if not specified.
  • -r (Optional): Specifies the target region. Default = 0 if not specified.
  • -f (Required): Specifies clock frequency (in MHz) for the first clock. All platforms have this clock.
  • -g (Optional): Specifies clock frequency (in MHz) for the second clock. Some platforms may not have this clock.
  • -h (Optional): Specifies clock frequency (in MHz) for the third clock. Some platforms may not have this clock.

For example, to change clock1 in card 0 to 100 MHz, run the following command:

$ xbutil clock -d 0 -f 100

Similarly, to change two clocks in card 0, such that clock1 is set to 200 MHz and clock2 is set to 250 MHz, run this command:

$ xbutil clock -d 0 -f 200 -g 250

The following example is an output after running this command:

INFO: Found total 1 card(s), 1 are usable INFO: xbutil clock succeeded.
