v0.99.0 of the system performance tuning tool "Powertweak" is released.
Available from http://powertweak.sourceforge.net
This release brought about a complete rewrite.
Some of the major changes since the last public release are...
- Should now work on all architectures.
(Tested on ia32/Sparc/Alpha/PPC)
- By default, Powertweak now starts as a daemon that should be
run on bootup. (Old behaviour still possible with --no-daemon)
The GUI now communicates with the daemon instead of doing
the tweaking itself.
- Backends are now completely modular plugin libraries.
This allowed for easier cross-platform usage, and a cleaner API.
- Profiles.
Tell Powertweak "This is a webserver" and have it auto-tune.
- Rewritten /proc/sys tuning backend.
- PCI backend now uses XML files to describe tweaks.
Several chipsets added since 0.1.17 release.
- Addition of a disk elevator tuning backend.
- CPU register tuning is now possible, as long as you have the
cpuid/msr drivers in your kernel (2.2.18, or 2.4.0test)
- Working text mode user interface.
regards,
Davej.
