What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../npu_busy_time_us Date: May 2024 KernelVersion: 6.11 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Time in microseconds that the device spent executing jobs. The time is counted when and only when there are jobs submitted to firmware. This time can be used to measure the utilization of NPU, either by calculating the difference between two timepoints or monitoring utilization percentage by reading periodically. Recommended read period is 1 second to avoid impact on job submission performance. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../npu_memory_utilization Date: Jan 2025 KernelVersion: 6.15 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Current NPU memory utilization in bytes. Reports the total size of all resident buffer objects allocated for NPU use. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../freq/hw_min_freq Date: April 2026 KernelVersion: 7.2 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Minimum frequency in MHz supported by the NPU hardware. This is a hardware capability and cannot be changed. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../freq/hw_efficient_freq Date: April 2026 KernelVersion: 7.2 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Most efficient operating frequency in MHz for the NPU. This represents the frequency at which the NPU operates most efficiently in terms of power and performance. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../freq/hw_max_freq Date: April 2026 KernelVersion: 7.2 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Maximum frequency in MHz supported by the NPU hardware. This is a hardware capability and cannot be changed. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../freq/current_freq Date: April 2026 KernelVersion: 7.2 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Current operating frequency in MHz of the NPU. The value is valid only when the device is active; returns 0 when idle. The actual frequency may be lower than the requested range due to power or thermal constraints. Read-only. What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/intel_vpu/.../freq/set_min_freq Date: April 2026 KernelVersion: 7.2 Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Description: Configured minimum operating frequency in MHz (50XX devices and newer). Values written are clamped to hardware limits (hw_min_freq to hw_max_freq). If set_min_freq exceeds set_max_freq, the driver clamps set_min_freq to set_max_freq when selecting the operating frequency. Read-write.
