Just a note since I have metered power outlets and have been investigating power aspects for a long time. I have NOT been able to measure any advantage in power consumption using the granola userspace governor rather than Ubuntu's on-demand kernel governor. Furthermore, Granola is closed source... we don't really know what goes on inside the software.
What does save power though is to use a modern scaling CPU (>= Core II) and under-clock it, use laptop drives and preferable SSD and unless you really need GFX, go with something embedded. Also, many PSU's waste about ~30% of the energy during the induction step but you can get high-efficient ones which only waste ~10%. Last but not least, unplug the PC + misc. when going to bed. My home- office setup will happily draw about 40W while doing absolutely nothing than producing heat. /Casper On Aug 3, 6:30 pm, Dick Wall <[email protected]> wrote: > It's called Granola: > > http://grano.la/ > > and despite what we said on the podcast, there are both Linux and > Windows versions available, not just Linux. > > Dick > > On Aug 3, 9:18 am, Jan Goyvaerts <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I didn't quite get the name of the power saving utility Dick talked about. > > Alas, it's not in the show notes either. > > > Can somebody point me the right web site ?
