| Summary : Tool that helps you find what software is using the most power
|
Description :
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.
