When it is set to 1, the scheduler tries to schedule processes to as few hyperthreads on a core as possible so that the others can go idle and in turn save power through idle C states.

在设置为 1 时，调度器尝试在核上尽可能少的超线程上调度进程，让其他超线程可以空闲，进而通过空闲 C 状态节省电力。

Even the latest low-power computers consume around 45 watts of power when idle. In contrast, a single SleepServer machine runs at just 300 watts, Agarwal says.

最新的低功耗计算机，在空闲状态下的功耗大概是45瓦，对应的，一台“休眠服务器”单机工作功率是30 0瓦，阿加沃说。

In fact, this governor often does not save any power since the greatest power savings usually come from the savings at idle through entering C states.

事实上，此调控器经常都不会节省任何电能，因为最有效的电能节省通常来自空闲时通过输入 C 电源状态实现的节省。

The new government of Yoshihiko Noda wants to reduce Japan's reliance on nuclear power in the medium term, but hopes to restart idle reactors in the meantime.

They discovered that, depending on the amount of traffic in the network, devices in power-saving modes spend 60 to 80 percent of their time in idle listening.

In previous work, they demonstrated that phones in idle listening mode expend roughly the same amount of power as they do when they're fully awake.
