cpufreqd

Fully configurable daemon for dynamic frequency and voltage scaling

/etc/cpufreqd.conf
/etc/default/cpufreqd

cpufrequtils

It provides:

utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature This package contains two utilities for inspecting and setting the CPU frequency through both the sysfs and procfs CPUFreq kernel interfaces. . By default, it also enables CPUFreq at boot time if the correct CPU driver is found.
