linux耗电,新Ubuntu Linux内核耗电量显著增加

Phoroni在笔记本上测试了不同版本Ubuntu的总体系统性能、耗电量、启动性能，注意到最近推出的新版内核在某些工作负荷下消耗了更多电量，平均增加了10%，最高达到了30%。对Linux 2.6.35, 2.6.36, 2.6.37, 2.6.38和2.6.39(开发版本)内核的测试显示，2.6.38内核的耗电量显著增加，而2.6.39版本存在同样的问题，尚未被修复。在Ubuntu的bug报告系统，有用户反映，运行Ubuntu 11.04的笔记本电池续航力比10.10大幅减少，从4小时减少至2:45左右。

For those that follow my personal Twitter feed will know that for the past week I've been closely testing Ubuntu 11.04 and all Ubuntu releases going back to Ubuntu 8.04 on many mobile devices in the office. The overall system performance, power consumption, and boot performance have been the principal targets. However, late this week I discovered a glaring regression: Ubuntu 11.04 is viciously going through power. Compared to Ubuntu 10.10, the power consumption on Ubuntu 11.04 for mobile devices is up about 10% on average but under some workloads, I am seeing the power consumption up by nearly 30%. This is happening on many mobile systems spanning multiple generations of Intel CPUs and with Intel / ATI / NVIDIA graphics. This issue has been tracked down to a frightening kernel regression in the mainline tree that is still not addressed.

In the publishing queue for Monday morning is the main article for the full power consumption results with all of th
