1 Hi,
2
3 admin of a colo-center keeps complaining my server is going
4 a little over power-limit (which they have set as ~120W per
5 24h/avg, while my server needs ~130-135W). So I need to find
6 a way to save at least those 15W, or I will be moved to
7 higher tarif (which means higher costs for server-housing).
8
9 Before going hard(ware) way, I would like to try first
10 all possible software solutions. What I tried up to now is
11 cpufreqd, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, and spindown. In addition to that
12 I adjusted fan-speeds to a little lower values and turned
13 off some unneeded peripherials (in bios).
14
15 Is there anything else I could do? Any tips would be greatly
16 welcomed...
