PowerTOP is a Linux tool that finds the software component(s) that make your
|
|
|
|
|
laptop use more power than necessary while it is idle. As of Linux kernel
|
|
|
|
|
version 2.6.21, the kernel no longer has a fixed 1000Hz timer tick. This will
|
|
|
|
|
(in theory) give a huge power savings because the CPU stays in low power mode
|
|
|
|
|
for longer periods of time during system idle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However... there are many things that can ruin the party, both inside the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel and in userspace. PowerTOP combines various sources of information from
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel into one convenient screen so that you can see how well your system
|
|
|
|
|
is doing, and which components are the biggest problem."
