New Software Tools (Nov 07)
Please check out the new Laptop Gaming TDK 2.0 with adding the new feature to support creating Ad-Hoc Peer-to-Peer network based games. See here to learn more about this new capability.
Also another new toolkit - Application Energy Toolkit has been released to help create and evaluate applications for power awareness on notebook. It includes a power status simulator, an application energy graphing tool and an application energy command line tool. Download the toolkit here.
A new Mobile Platform SDK installer for Windows XP & Vista has just been released, check out the MPSDK site for information on how to download. To find out more on how to get started, check out Joe's Blog.
Second Life Event "Introduction to Energy-Efficient Software"
For many years the PC industry has worked to create notebook PCs that can operate for a full day on a single charge. Even though battery technologies have gradually improved, processors have new low-power states, and displays have dramatically improved their power consumption, there is still room for improvement. Software plays an important role in reducing the power used on mobile platforms and extending the battery life. Join us as Bob Steigerwald introduces characteristics of software applications that make them "energy-efficient" and examines techniques for developing for performance, energy-minded disk I/O, and power-aware behavior.
Create Energy-Efficient Applications has just been published to explain techniques that can be used to improve the energy efficiency of software and extend battery life.
Sample code for platform discovery has been released as the quick way to implement the battery, disk, processor and connectivity functionality in C++ code.
Sample Codes for Mobile-Aware Apps
Have you downloaded and tried the Intel Power Performance Gadget for Google Desktop? Do you want to create your own software apps? Rich has released the sample code for platform discovery that he used to create the Intel Power Performance Gadget. It provides C++ APIs and implementation code to access battery, disk, processor and connectivity information.
If you want to fully utilize mobile platform features in your software, check out the Intel Mobile Platform SDK 1.2 described in the article “Making Applications aware of their Mobile Contexts using the Intel Mobile Platform SDK”.
Creating Energy- Efficient Apps
Power consumption is one of key consideration in creating software applications for laptop. The article “Create Energy-Efficient Applications” examines software methodologies, designs, and software development tools that can be used to improve the energy efficiency of application software and extend mobile platform battery time. And the sample code for platform discovery has been released as the quick way to implement the battery, disk, processor and connectivity functionality in C++ code.
Intel Mobile Platform SDK 1.2
We've just open sourced the Intel Mobile Platform SDK 1.2. This SDK lets you develop software that takes advantage of mobile platforms such as notebooks, tablets, smart phones and PDAs. Check out the new project site for the SDK, where you can download the code, read the documentations and participate in the forums.
