The first release of the PowerTop tool for OpenSolaris is available at the Tesla Project's page (http://opensolaris.org/os/project/tesla/).
PowerTOP is an observability tool that shows how effectively the system is taking advantage of the CPU's power management features. The tool allows the user to see how long the CPU is running at different power states, and which events are causing the system to wakeup and consequently consume more energy. In order to run PowerTop, the user must have Solaris Nevada build 82 or higher installed. It will also be possible to run the tool on Solaris 10 systems with Update 6 - once such update is released. PowerTop is a community project developed on opensolaris.org. If you'd like to get involved, join our alias (tesla-dev at opensolaris.org). Rafael
