| Summary: A Linux Tool to Find out What is Using Power on a Laptop | |
PowerTOP is a program that collects the various pieces of information
from your system and presents an overview of how well your laptop is
doing in terms of power savings.

- Fix minor build warning:
powertop.x86_64: W: name-repeated-in-summary C PowerTOP
- Update to version 1.13:
Features:
* PowerTOP now supports Runtime Device Power Management, both in terms
of enabling it via a suggestion as well as collecting statistics for it
* PowerTOP now has support for reporting which application keeps the
disk from powersaving mode (worth +/- 0.5W)
* PowerTOP now has support for reporting AHCI Link power management
statistics (worth 0.5W - 1W)
* PowerTOP now supports the Audio power saving statistics so you can see
if some app keeps your audio out of powersave (0.5W - 1W)
* PowerTOP reports the use of "Turbo Mode" on Intel processors that
support this (Core i7 and such)
Fixes:
* We should have fixed all suggestions that previously didn't go away
even though you hit the key to apply them
* We don't turn on USB power management for USB input devices, they tend
to break if you do
* Be smarter about we report ethernet activity in the light of
multiqueue networking
* many translation updates
* Recognize per cpu hpet in timer reporting
* Various wifi power saving api changes/tweaks taken care of
* Sun May 09 2010 seife@opensuse.org
- update to SVN rev 332:
* fix wifi code for current kernels
* show turbo mode explicitly
* filter out percpu hpet timer wakeup events
* ignore usb input devices, do not set/read suspend delay
* add --pids command-line option
* add HD audio power save suggestion
* removed obsolete laptop_mode suggestion
* updated manpage
* Tue Feb 09 2010 ro@suse.de
- fix segfault: increase max lines from 5000 to 8000 for
/proc/config.gz and abort if reaching limit
* Tue Mar 03 2009 ro@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.11
- Changes:
* Fix compilation with PIC
* polling hint now refers to /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/scd0
* fix calculations for systems that vary in power draw proc info
* Display mwait usage
* fix EOF at input
* add --version|-v option
* spelling error in tips.
* Mon Jun 16 2008 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.10
- Changes:
* USB suspend statistics
* support for iwl4965 power saving
* Powertop now reports which C-states are supported by CPU/BIOS
* Updated translations: ja, pt_BR, hu, id, zh (thanks!)
* Wed Nov 07 2007 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.9
- Changes:
* add support for mac80211 based wireless power saving
* improve bluetooth inactivity detection
* report USB activity (needs 2.6.24-rc kernel)
* support the newly reported interrupt events in 2.6.24-rc
* Wed Oct 10 2007 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.8
- Changes:
* add suggestion to increase VM writeback timeout
* add suggestion to enable INOTIFY in the kernel
* fix socket fd leak, found by Nikerabbit on #powertop
* Add support for deferrable timers (Scott Lamb)
* Add active hint to enable USB autosuspend on Fedora 7
* Show blue color if the cpu is 25% or more busy to indicate
that idle wakeups no longer is the nr 1 power causer
(Santiago Gala)
* merge the -d option from Bill Nottingham (Fedora) to allow
automated collection of data
* Mon Jun 18 2007 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.7
- Changes:
* add suggestion to disable TV out
* add suggestion to disable Wake-On-Lan for unused ethernet
* show P-states (frequencies)
* Sun Jun 10 2007 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.6
- Changes:
* Add suggestion to rf_kill unused wireless interfaces
* Propose killing "sealert"; this is a new thing in F7 that wakes
up 10 times per second for no reason
* avoid showing the laptop mode hint when on AC - Val Henson
* suggest enabling noatime to save disk IO's
* suggest enabling SATA AHCI Link powermanagement
* suggest enabling the SMP Power Aware Scheduler
* Mon May 28 2007 thoenig@suse.de
- Update to PowerTOP 1.5
- Changes:
* fix resize-corrupts-screen-content bug
* add interrupts to the wakeups/second data in the emulated
(non-mobile) case
* calculate a long term power usage from battery charge deltas;
this should help people whos battery doesn't report discharge
rates, and also will provide a less noisy datapoint
* Add option to use `kill` on some known power hogs if they are
actually waking up a lot:
- beagle (even latest wakes up 10 times/second when not
indexing)
- hal (suggest to stop cdrom polling)
- gnome-power-manager
These only show if these actually wake up the cpu 'a lot';
so if these get fixed then the suggestion will not display.
