Hi All,

Thanks for providing lot of information. I have few more queries regarding
powertop, I have recently figured out that if i run any application i can
see the processes id shown as part of "Top causes for wakesup" does it mean
that powertop reports the load state of cores too? I am not getting clear
understanding by idle core state. As suggested in last mail that it is
impractical to estimate the application power i understand the reason though
i am now just trying to find some approximation possible. I am also facing
problem by not able to see the core c states, basically as i asked before
not sure why cores p state is changing but not the c state for core-1. I
understand i have no control of scheduling so not sure if something is
running into core-1 or not but the p state is changing for core-1?  Please
let me know if some one can give little insight into it?

Thanks and Regards,
Nisha
