Recent Development

During the past few months, there has been a lot of progress on new power saving features in Linux. Linux kernel community developers, such as Thomas Gleixner and Ingo Molnar, and various Intel developers, cooperated in developing a set of patches to push Linux to the next level. These patches included the tickless idle feature and a series of other developments that cash in on the potential power saving infrastructure of the CPU and other hardware.

In our results page, we will show the effect of implementing specific power saving features on these platforms:
