## Optimization Categories
### CPU Optimizations
```bash
# CPU governor (applied by TLP)
echo 'powersave' | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
# CPU idle states
# Managed automatically by kernel
```
### Device Power Management
```bash
# Enable ASPM (PCIe power saving)
echo 'powersave' | sudo tee /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
# Runtime PM for devices
echo 'auto' | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power/control
```
### USB Power Management
```bash
# Enable USB autosuspend
echo '1' | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
# Per-device control
echo 'auto' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control
```
### Audio Power Saving
```bash
# Enable audio power saving
echo '1' | sudo tee /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
```
## Making Optimizations Permanent
### Method 1: Systemd Service (Recommended)
Our installation script creates a PowerTOP service:
```bash
# Check service status
systemctl status powertop.service
# Enable auto-tune on boot
sudo systemctl enable powertop.service
# Manually run auto-tune
sudo systemctl start powertop.service
```
### Method 2: Custom Scripts
Create startup scripts in `/etc/rc.local` or systemd services:
```bash
# Example optimization script
#!/bin/bash
echo 'auto' > /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power/control
echo 'min_power' > /sys/class/scsi_host/*/link_power_management_policy
```
### Method 3: TLP Integration
Most PowerTOP optimizations are already included in our TLP configuration.
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **PowerTOP requires root privileges**
- This is normal for hardware access
- Always use `sudo powertop`
2. **No power consumption data**
- Check if running on battery
- Ensure ACPI support in kernel
- Some virtual machines don't report power data
3. **Optimizations not persisting**
- Use systemd service for permanent changes
- Check for conflicting power managers
### Debug Commands
```bash
# Check kernel power management support
ls /sys/class/power_supply/
# Verify ACPI tables
sudo acpidump | head -20
# Check for power management conflicts
systemctl list-units | grep power
```
## Best Practices
### Regular Monitoring
1. **Weekly Reports**: Generate PowerTOP reports to track trends
2. **Before/After Testing**: Measure impact of configuration changes
3. **Application Profiling**: Identify power-hungry applications
### Analysis Workflow
1. **Baseline Measurement**: Record power consumption before changes
2. **Apply Optimizations**: Use systematic approach
3. **Measure Impact**: Generate new reports
4. **Document Changes**: Keep track of what works
### Report Interpretation
1. **Focus on Top Consumers**: Address highest impact items first
2. **Check Tunables**: Apply "Bad" recommendations carefully
3. **Monitor Trends**: Look for patterns over time
4. **Validate Changes**: Ensure functionality isn't compromised
## Integration with Other Tools
### With TLP
PowerTOP and TLP complement each other:
- TLP: Provides systematic, persistent power management
- PowerTOP: Offers detailed analysis and additional optimizations
### With System Monitoring
```bash
# Combine with system monitoring
./scripts/powertop-analyze.sh &
./scripts/battery-monitor.sh --watch
```
### With Performance Tools
```bash
# Monitor performance impact
htop &
sudo powertop --auto-tune
# Check if system remains responsive
```
## Advanced Usage
### Automated Analysis
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Daily power analysis script
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
sudo powertop --html=/var/log/powertop_${DATE}.html --time=3600
# Email report or upload to monitoring system
```
### Custom Reporting
```bash
# Extract specific data from CSV reports
awk -F',' 'NR>1 {print $1,$3}' report.csv | sort -k2 -nr | head -10
```
### Integration with Monitoring Systems
PowerTOP data can be integrated with:
- Grafana dashboards
- Nagios monitoring
- Custom logging systems

```
**Impact:**
- Reduces GPU power consumption by 15-30%
- Lower graphics performance in games/3D applications
- Minimal impact on desktop usage
### 5. Wireless Device Management
```bash
# WiFi power saving
WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=on
# Bluetooth management
DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_BAT="bluetooth"
# Wake on LAN
WOL_DISABLE=Y
```
**Impact:**
- Reduces wireless power consumption
- May affect network performance slightly
- Automatic reconnection when needed
### 6. USB Power Management
```bash
# Enable USB autosuspend
USB_AUTOSUSPEND=1
# Exclude critical devices
USB_BLACKLIST_PRINTER=1
USB_BLACKLIST_PHONE=0
```
**Impact:**
- Suspends unused USB devices
- Saves 0.5-2W per device
- Blacklist prevents issues with specific devices
### 7. Battery Charge Thresholds (ThinkPad)
```bash
# Start charging at 75%
START_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=75
# Stop charging at 80%
STOP_CHARGE_THRESH_BAT0=80
```
**Impact:**
- Extends battery lifespan significantly
- Reduces available capacity slightly
- Optimal for plugged-in usage
## Advanced Optimizations
### CPU Undervolting
For advanced users, CPU undervolting can provide additional power savings:
```bash
# EXPERIMENTAL - Use with caution
# PHC_CONTROLS="F:V F:V F:V F:V"
```
**Warning:** Only use if you understand the risks. Incorrect values can cause system instability.
### Custom Scripts
You can add custom power management commands to:
- `/etc/tlp.d/` - Additional configuration files
- Systemd services for startup optimizations
## Monitoring Configuration Impact
### Check Current Settings
```bash
# Show all TLP settings
sudo tlp-stat
# Show specific components
sudo tlp-stat -p # Processor
sudo tlp-stat -d # Disks
sudo tlp-stat -g # Graphics
sudo tlp-stat -u # USB
```
### Measure Power Consumption
```bash
# Before configuration changes
sudo powertop --time=60
# Apply changes
sudo tlp start
# After configuration changes
sudo powertop --time=60
```
## Distribution-Specific Notes
### Ubuntu/Debian
- Install with: `sudo apt install tlp tlp-rdw`
- May conflict with `power-profiles-daemon`
### Fedora/RHEL
- Install with: `sudo dnf install tlp tlp-rdw`
- Disable conflicting services
### Arch Linux
- Install with: `sudo pacman -S tlp`
- Enable service: `sudo systemctl enable tlp.service`
## Laptop-Specific Optimizations
### ThinkPad
- Install additional tools: `tp-smapi-dkms acpi-call-dkms`
- Battery threshold support available
- Enhanced fan control
### Dell
- Use `i8kutils` for fan control
- BIOS settings may override some options
### HP
- Limited hardware support
- Focus on software optimizations
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **TLP not applying settings**
```bash
sudo systemctl enable tlp.service
sudo systemctl start tlp.service
```
2. **Settings reset after reboot**
- Check if other power managers are active
- Ensure TLP service is enabled
3. **USB devices not working**
- Add device IDs to blacklist
- Check `lsusb` output for device identification
### Verification Commands
```bash
# Check TLP service status
systemctl status tlp.service
# Verify configuration syntax
sudo tlp-stat -c
# Test specific settings
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
```
## Performance vs Battery Life
### Maximum Battery Life Profile
- All power saving features enabled
- Significant performance reduction acceptable
- Target: 30-50% longer battery life
### Balanced Profile
- Moderate power saving
- Minimal performance impact
- Target: 15-25% longer battery life
### Performance Profile
- Limited power saving
- Maximum performance preserved
- Target: 5-10% longer battery life
## Regular Maintenance
### Monthly Tasks
- Review power consumption reports
- Check battery health
- Update TLP configuration if needed
### After System Updates
- Verify TLP service is still running
- Check for configuration file changes
- Test critical functionality
## Best Practices
1. **Start Conservative**: Begin with moderate settings and adjust gradually
2. **Monitor Impact**: Use PowerTOP to measure actual improvements
3. **Document Changes**: Keep track of modifications for troubleshooting
4. **Test Thoroughly**: Verify all hardware functions correctly
5. **Regular Updates**: Keep TLP and related tools current
