LessWatts.org - Saving Power on Intel systems with Linux Saving power is a hot topic across the computer industry. For some, saving power means getting a longer battery life on their mobile devices, be it laptops or handhelds. For others, saving power means reducing costs and increasing efficiency in their data centers. For all of us its about reducing the impact of computing on our planet. LessWatts.org is not about marketing, trying to sell you something or comparing one vendor to another. LessWatts.org is about how you can save real watts, however you use Linux* on your computer or computers. LessWatts is about creating a community around saving power on Linux, bringing developers, users, and sysadmins together to share software, optimizations, and tips and tricks. You can get tips, software, an... in Public bookmarkswith acrosscomputerhotindustrymeanspowersavingtopicby 3 users
Parallel Virtual File System, Version 2 Parallel I/O continues to be a topic of active development. Recent years have seen the creation of many new options. Even with these new choices, certain factors remain constant. Parallel applications need a fast I/O subsystem. Clusters need a parallel file system that can scale as the number of nodes increases to the thousands and tens of thousands. PVFS2 is our answer. Many institutions and researchers have used the first generation of the Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS) with much success. The time has come for the second generation. PVFS2 continues to serve as both a platform for parallel I/O research as well as a production file system for the cluster computing community. in Public bookmarkswith parallelcontinuestopicactivedevelopmentrecentyearscreation
Saving power with Linux on Intel hardware Power usage is a hot topic for computer users everywhere. For some, it's a matter of how long a laptop lasts without being plugged in. For others, it's controlling the temperature of hundreds of systems within a datacenter. For all of us, it's about keeping the electricity bill under control and being kind to the environment. Getting your computer to use the least amount of power can be problematic. This site provides information on reducing power usage, tips, and tricks for Intel-based computers running Linux*. As a first step, Intel is releasing PowerTOP, a tool that helps you find what software is using the most power. By fixing (or closing) these applications or processes, you can immediately see the power savings in the tool. You'll also see the est... in Public bookmarkswith computereverywherehotmatterpowertopicusageusersby 3 users
