I don't understand what's so difficult about this. Why is Intel not providing the documentation? And what is it so difficult to reverse engineer? Is this tool

It requires parsing multiple undocumented binary file formats, making sense of how the information in each is interlinked, and writing code that keeps track of system state, compares it against the firmware policy, and then imposes the appropriate constraints. > Why is Intel not providing the documentation?

There's a fair amount of complexity here! > Is this tool correctly reading the DPTF data and correcting for it? Thermald reads the DPTF data, throttled doesn't. I can't promise that thermald reads it correctly given the lack of a spec, but to the best of my knowledge it does.
