Intel publishes program to control the power consumption of the computer under Linux
A utility in line of commandos allows us to know what processes or applications generate the greater cost power and, therefore, it offers the opportunity us to control it.

Intel seems determined to support to a certain extent to GNU/Linux, although at the moment with tepidity we suppose that due to its good commercial relation with Microsoft. One has freed to code and drivers, but other actions like preventing the liberation of the certain specifications of chipsets, generally dim the effort of Intel towards free software and Linux in particular.
What now it occupies to us is PowerTOP, a software utility that allows us to know the state certain components of the machine and their yield, like for example the time that we have left of battery. But, without doubt, the best functionality of this program is the possibility of knowing what processes consume more resources. Of this form, it is possible to close them (those that can, clearly) and to prolong the operative time of our machine, besides contributing to that its life utility is extended.
PowerTOP can unload freely from an own Web, in source code that can be compiled of a very simple form using the utility make. The instructions for we found them it in the same page of unloading in which, in addition, one affirms that diverse distributions to us as Fedora or Gentoo already is incorporating PowerTOP.
The utility of Intel not only has applications in the portable ones (something more than evident), if that also he is useful in the datacenters, not helping to reduce the power cost and to facilitate that the computers do not warm up so much.
