I've been asked to present on server power management in a couple of weeks at the Linux Foundation End User Summit in New York. Please review the abstract below -- I need to submit it today. I've also penciled in an outline for the talk below, let me know if there is something that server customers may want to hear about that I've forgotton to include. thanks! -Len Title: Topics in Linux Server Power Management ----- Abstract: -------- Today's high volume servers deploy several power management features originally developed for laptop computers. While Linux runs on laptops and thus already has support for these features, servers have performance constraints not generally found on laptops. This talk starts with an overview of power management features supported in Linux on high volumem servers, and then describes how to maximize power savings while still meeting server performance requirements. No previous knowledge of Linux power management features is necessary to benefit from this presentation. Outline: ------- CPU Idle Power states (C-staes) what they are how to observe knobs to debug/control C1 vs C1E core vs package C-states Processor Performance States (P-state) what they are how to observe knobs to debug/control ondemand vs. userspace Turbo Mode (Intel Dynamic Acceleration Technology) what it is how to observe knobs to debug/control PM-QOS what it is, how it works, how to use it Power Aware Scheduling what it is, how to use it -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
