Change CPU clock speed and monitor CPU power and temperature

Description
   Cpuclock is a utility program to adjust the nominal CPU clock speed
   and monitor the effect on CPU power and temperature. Start or stop
   a synthetic load on CPU core processors. Adjust the nominal clock
   speed and observe the resulting changes in power and temperature.
   A small reduction in clock speed can have a large impact on power
   and temperature. CPU slowdown from thermal throttling is also shown.

Usage
   Terminal command: $ cpuclock
   The sudo password is requested (required to change the CPU clock).
   An interactive window is started for both input and output data.
   Press the [help] button to see detailed usage instructions.

Limitations
   Cpuclock reads the output of the programs powerstat and cpupower.
   output is formatted for humans, not computers. Format changes may
   cause cpuclock to fail. Cpuclock may also fail for non-Intel or
   older Intel processors, or for older releases of Linux.
