Battery Life Toolkit (BLTK)

Introduction

The Linux Battery Life Toolkit (BLTK) provides Linux infrastructure to measure laptop battery life. It is also useful for measuring the power performance of a desktop system, by providing an infrastructure to launch typical single-user workloads for power performance measurement.

Battery Life Toolkit

The battery life toolkit consists of a test framework and six example workloads.

• Framework The toolkit framework is responsible for launching the workload, collecting statistics during the run, and summarizing the results after a test is complete.
• Workloads The framework can launch any arbitrary workload, but currently has knowledge of 6 example workloads:
  • Idle
