01.org has several projects related to power management, but most aren't in Fedora repositories. Are any of these useful for the recent effort to make power management better on Fedora? I've been compiling thermald from source for a while, and it does make a difference to battery life and heat generation on laptops. It's only in copr and that version is old. The description of thermal daemon: "This is an active open source project distributed under the LGPL open source license. With a mature and established codebase containing about 12,000 lines of code. Linux Therman Daemon is currently used in distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora and can be used any Linux-based system, including Chromium, Chrome OS or Android." Except it's not used in Fedora. Intel is the maintainer upstream. Seems like a strong candidate for default installation and activation on Fedora Workstation. Next up is Powertop, which I've used off and on mostly for diagnostic. But it also has some startup time optimizations applied with a systemd unit. *shrug* I can't quantify how useful those optimizations are. The one in Fedora right now is the previous version which doesn't work on Skylake or Kabylake CPUs. RAPL Power Meter I've never used. suspendresume I hadn't even heard of until looking at this page just now, but the description sounds like it'd useful for both workstation and server products. "The use of Suspend/Resume is an excellent way to save power in Linux platforms, whether in Intel® based mobile devices or large-scale server farms. Optimizing the performance of suspend/resume has become extremely important because the more time spent entering and exiting low power modes, the less the system can be in use." -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
