Hi guys, Quick question, am I right (and looking at idle_6xx.S, I think I am) in thinking that during the idle process, by default, an e600 core such as the 7448 or MPC8610 will automatically transition to a NAP state, thus being as low power as possible?
Has anyone done any benchmarking of the power consumption of the processor when this transition is disabled (remove CPU_FTR_MAYBE_CAN_NAP) or have a rough idea what the benefits might be? Is there a performance reason for removing the feature or disabling naps altogether? The powersave-nap sysctl controls whether DOZE or NAP is entered on processors that support a seperate HID0[DOZE], however is it possible to extend it such that nap is never entered? -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
