On Integrity servers, a CPU can be placed in "low-power mode" when it is idle. This minimizes power consumption, thereby reducing energy costs for the system. Beginning in Version 8.2- 1, OpenVMS Integrity servers supports this feature based on the settings of two system parameters: CPU_POWER_MGMT and CPU_POWER_ THRSH. A value of 1 for CPU_POWER_MGMT means on (the default); a value of 0 means off. Whenever the CPU_POWER_THRSH parameter value is exceeded, the operating system places an Integrity processor in low-power mode if it is idle. OpenVMS Integrity servers does this only if CPU_POWER_MGMT is on. A CPU returns to normal power when it receives an interrupt. CPU_POWER_MGMT is a DYNAMIC parameter.
