I also had the temperature-related shutdown problems when running python and c++ colde on a Thinkpad X201 with Ubuntu 10.04. Installed cool_cpu Joseph Salisbury wrote on 2011-04-14 (see comment 9 above). I ran >> cool_cpu.sh H The read out from the cpu while at its peak stress while running c++ code I have had so far is: ---------------------------- Every 0.5s: cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal ; cat /proc/acpi/ibm... Sat Jul 16 11:24:47 2011
temperatures: 90 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 speed: 6013 level: disengaged cpu MHz : 2667.000 cpu MHz : 1199.000 cpu MHz : 1199.000 cpu MHz : 1199.000 --------------------------- Running my code with level 7 did not do the trick and the computer quickly shut down. The room temperature was about 22C and the computer was sitting on a wooden table (faster shut downs due to overheating). I was even able to work other things or run small python or c++ programs while running the code, which was, needless to say, impossible before.
