Hi Matthew, answering your question: > How is this different to the cpufreq code and governors already present > in the Linux kernel? The goal of our tool is to support embedded systems developers in the translation from their code (power unware) to a power aware code. We consider that this developers are usually not familiar with power management and timing constraints. Our tool performs a static analysis of the input code in order to find places where voltage and frequency scaling code could be included. In fact, our tool also makes use of cpufreq libs. So, our intention is not to create another cpufreq or anything else, but to use existing tools/libs available in the open source community.
