Description: NVIDIA Dynamic Boost (daemon)
The 'nvidia-powerd' daemon provides support for the NVIDIA Dynamic Boost
feature on Linux platforms. Dynamic Boost is a system-wide power controller
which manages GPU and CPU power, according to the workload on the system. By
shifting power between the GPU and the CPU, Dynamic Boost can deliver more
power to the component that would benefit most from it, without impacting the
system's total thermal and electrical budgets. This optimizes overall system
performance per watt.
