Intel Introduces LatencyTOP Utility
Last May Intel had introduced PowerTOP as an open-source utility for monitoring a system's power consumption and making recommendations on how to reduce the power consumption thereby extending the battery life for mobile devices. Today, however, Intel has announced a new sibling for PowerTOP: LatencyTOP. Intel's LatencyTOP is a tool geared for developers that are interested in visualizing system latencies. LatencyTOP is able to detect where system latencies are originating and displaying the maximum and average time needed for each task. We'll be exploring this new open-source utility further and will report our results on LatencyTOP in the near future. More information is available from LatencyTOP.org.
