Abstract: The CPU is one of the major power consumers in a
portable computer, and considerable power can be saved by
turning off the CPU when it is not doing useful work. In Apple
's MacOS, however, idle time is often converted to busy
waiting, and generally it is very hard to tell when no useful
computation is occurring. In this paper, we suggest several
heuristic techniques for identifying this condition, and
for temporarily putting the CPU in a low-power state. These
techniques include turning off the ... (Update)

.... power optimizations may be evaluated by showing the system s slowdown, when the optimization is applied, as a function of the power savings [37]. Such a function is useful for computing easily the possible power savings for a speci c acceptable decrease in performance....
