During my tests, I execute my program = several times (it is not a background process) with powertop running. My = doubt is: how does powertop deal with these multiple executions? I'd guess that it averages over the number of executions, because I'm = obtaining very similar power consumption measurements for both 500 and = 5000 executions of my program (335 mW and 364 mW, respectively). Still, = there is the possibility that powertop only keeps the estimation = corresponding to the last execution... Thanks. --===============4333595621369309901==--
