Processor Hardware Control for Linux!

CrystalCPUID is a CPU utility software.

RightMark CPU Clock Utility (RMClock) is a small GUI application designed for real-time CPU frequency, throttling and load level monitoring and on-the-fly adjustment of the CPU performance level on supported CPU models via processors power management model-specific registers (MSRs). In automatic management mode it continuously monitors the CPU usage level and dynamically adjusts the CPU frequency, throttle and/or voltage level as needed, realizing the "Performance on Demand" concept. Notice: RMClock is different than CPU RM, those are two very different pieces of software designed to do different things. »

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 various power management settings for cases where the Linux distribution has not enabled these settings.

PROGRAM DISCONTINUED (see project's home page)

K10stat is a undervolting utility for K10 AMD processors only.

Laptop Mode Tools is a package of userspace scripts for Linux kernel "laptop mode".

UPower is an abstraction for enumerating power devices, listening to device events and querying history and statistics. Any application or service on the system can access the org.freedesktop.UPower service via the system message bus. Some operations (such as suspending the system) are restricted using PolicyKit. UPower was once called DeviceKit-power. UPower aims to make a large chunk of HAL redundant, as HAL is officially deprecated.

With Notebook Hardware Control you can easily control the hardware components of your Notebook.

CPUMSR controls frequency, voltage and multiplier settings of supported CPUs.

Faronics Power Save is an effective and reliable energy conservation tool that accurately manages energy consumption throughout ain a multiple workstation environment and significantly cuts down on energy expenditures. Power Save offers flexible options for determining when a computer is inactive (by CPU usage, hard drive usage or by running applications—not just keyboard and mouse movement), and only shuts computers down when they are inactive for a specified amount of time. As well, Power Save can schedule shutdown, start-up, and wake events by day, weekend, weekday, or a specific date. Faronics Power Save provides central reporting, configuration management, deployment, and control across an enterprise via Faronics Core Console. »
