ENG Rafael J. Wysocki: Advances in CPU Idle Time Management in Linux / #LinuxPiter

Advances in CPU Idle Time Management in Linux As one of the primary power management features, CPU idle time management has been implemented in the Linux kernel for several years. It works as expected most of the time, but it had turned out to be problematic in certain situations. Problem reports regarding them triggered a major update of the core CPU idle time management code in the kernel that led to significant reduction of idle power on some systems among other improvements. I will explain the high-lev
