Abstract
A measurement circuit measures a first power consumption value corresponding to a first configuration of a component of a computing device and a second power consumption value corresponding to a second configuration of the component. A user interface module provides a the first power consumption value for the first configuration and the second power consumption value for the second configuration. A user selection indicating one of the first configuration and the second configuration is received and a configuration module implements the configuration indicated by the user selection in the component.
Claims30
A method, comprising:
- identifying a first power consumption value corresponding to a first configuration of a component of a computing device;
- identifying a second power consumption value corresponding to a second configuration of the component of the computing device;
- providing, by a user interface, the first power consumption value for the first configuration and the second power consumption value for the second configuration;
- receiving a user selection indicating one of the first configuration and the second configuration;
- and
- implementing in the component, the configuration indicated by the user selection.
A system, comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processing device, the memory storing:
- a configuration module executed from the processor and the memory, wherein the configuration module is configured to:
- receive a first power consumption value corresponding to a first configuration of a component of the system;
- and
- receive a second power consumption value corresponding to a second configuration of the component;
- and
- a user interface module executed from the processor and the memory, wherein the user interface module is configured to provide the first power consumption value for the first configuration and the second power consumption value for the second configuration,
- wherein the configuration module is further configured to implement a user selected configuration from the first configuration and the second configuration in the component.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed cause a data processing system to perform a method comprising:
- identifying a first power consumption value corresponding to a first configuration of a component of a computing device;
- identifying a second power consumption value corresponding to a second configuration of the component of the computing device;
- providing, by a user interface, the first power consumption values for the first configuration and the second power consumption value for the second configuration;
- receiving a user selection indicating one of the first configuration and the second configuration;
- and
- implementing in the component, the configuration indicated by the user selection.
