I have an imac G3, which I want to use for a computing intensive task. I think this computer has a problem with overheating, because when it has been working for approximately 10 hours, it hangs.
What I would like is to enforce some idle cycles which would prevent the CPU from overheating. On the ix86 processors, there is an thing called ACPI that has a function for this at /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling I *think* this is completely done in software (in the kernel, requires no hardware-support). If that is the case, then it should be possible to do the same on the powerpc plattform, but I haven't found anything like that. Hardware details, if relevant. cpu : 740/750 temperature : 31-33 C (uncalibrated) clock : 333.333330MHz revision : 2.2 (pvr 0008 0202) platform : PowerMac model : iMac,1 -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <h...@sociologi.cjb.net> A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion Q. Why is top posting bad?
