Save battery life. Reduce utility bills.
Create applications that perform as power efficiently as possible with these great tools and resources. Whether you’re trying to save battery life or help reduce your customers’ data center utility bill, you‘ll find tools to reduce your software’s power consumption.
Getting Started
- Power Analysis Guide for Windows
- Developing Green Software
Characteristics of Green Software and the software design considerations and methodologies to improve energy efficiency. - Fine-Grained Application Analysis For Energy Aware Computing
Learn how software “idle” behavior can have a negative impact on battery life. Find the root cause of an application behavior that impacts battery life and the steps necessary to mitigate it. - Energy Aware Computing
In response to the worldwide demand for resource conservation and sustainability, this book provides solutions in designing energy-saving computer systems from small mobile devices to large enterprise data centers.
Tools
- Download Intel® System Studio 2016 Beta
- Intel® Power Gadget
Monitor and estimation tool enabled for 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processors. - Intel® Battery Life Analyzer
Monitor various software and hardware activities that affect battery life. - Intel® Software Development Assistant (Intel® SDA)
Take energy measurements from the system as it executes specific workloads within your application and determine its efficiency. - Intel® Platform Power Estimation Tool (IPPET) for Windows*
IPPET is a prototype power monitoring utility that uses Intel-specific energy MSRs to break down power consumption per process and displays them in real-time on a web browser.
Download IPPET Quick Start Guide - PowerTOP
PowerTOP is a Linux* tool to diagnose issues with power consumption and power management. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, PowerTOP also has an interactive mode where the user can experiment with various power management settings for cases where the Linux* distribution has not enabled these settings.
