LessWatts Project

Nowadays, a little saving can mean a lot. This is what Intel tried to accomplish by making LessWatts project that tries to give you application, tricks, and any other resources that can help you save real watts. However, it's intended for Linux platform.

LessWatts is about creating a community around saving power on Linux, bringing developers, users, and sysadmins together to share software, optimizations, and tips and tricks.

In the official site, you will see several application or documentation that was provided to enable you save more watts on your computer (be it laptops or any other handhelds). Some of those are:

• PowerTOP (application)
• Tickless Idle (kernel feature)
• Power Policy Manager (framework)
• Application Power Management
  
• Processor Power Management
• Power and Performance Measurement
• Linux Battery Life Toolkit
• Power QoS
• Device and Bus Power Management
• Display and Graphic Power Saving
• ACPICA

We can do better things with Linux
