|
|
|
|
## Generated TLP Configuration
|
|
|
|
### General Settings
|
|
```bash
|
|
TLP_ENABLE=1
|
|
TLP_WARN_LEVEL=3
|
|
TLP_DEBUG=0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### CPU Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Adaptive CPU scaling for development workloads
|
|
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=ondemand
|
|
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_BAT=powersave
|
|
|
|
# Allow full frequency range for compilation
|
|
CPU_SCALING_MIN_FREQ_ON_AC=2200000
|
|
CPU_SCALING_MAX_FREQ_ON_AC=4950000
|
|
|
|
# Conservative battery frequencies
|
|
CPU_SCALING_MIN_FREQ_ON_BAT=2200000
|
|
CPU_SCALING_MAX_FREQ_ON_BAT=3600000
|
|
|
|
# Balanced platform profiles
|
|
PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_AC=balanced
|
|
PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_BAT=low-power
|
|
|
|
# Responsive energy performance
|
|
CPU_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY_ON_AC=balance_performance
|
|
CPU_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY_ON_BAT=balance_power
|
|
|
|
# Turbo boost for compilation workloads
|
|
CPU_BOOST_ON_AC=1
|
|
CPU_BOOST_ON_BAT=0
|
|
|
|
# Hardware P-states
|
|
CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_AC=1
|
|
CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_BAT=0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development work requires responsive performance for IDE operations and maximum performance for compilation. Ondemand governor provides good balance between responsiveness and power efficiency.
|
|
|
|
### Memory and Swap Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Optimize for large development environments
|
|
VM_DIRTY_WRITEBACK_CENTISECS_ON_AC=500
|
|
VM_DIRTY_WRITEBACK_CENTISECS_ON_BAT=1500
|
|
|
|
# Laptop mode for battery
|
|
VM_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC=0
|
|
VM_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_BAT=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development environments often use significant memory. Balanced writeback settings ensure good I/O performance without excessive disk activity.
|
|
|
|
### Storage Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# High performance for development tools and compilation
|
|
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_AC=254
|
|
DISK_APM_LEVEL_ON_BAT=192
|
|
|
|
# No spindown for SSDs, moderate for HDDs
|
|
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_AC=0
|
|
DISK_SPINDOWN_TIMEOUT_ON_BAT=240
|
|
|
|
# Optimize SATA link power
|
|
SATA_LINKPWR_ON_AC=max_performance
|
|
SATA_LINKPWR_ON_BAT=medium_power
|
|
|
|
# NVMe optimization for development
|
|
AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_AC=on
|
|
AHCI_RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=auto
|
|
|
|
# Disk device IDs for different handling
|
|
DISK_DEVICES="nvme0n1 sda"
|
|
DISK_APM_CLASS_DENYLIST="usb ieee1394"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development requires fast I/O for IDE operations, file indexing, and compilation. SSD performance is prioritized while HDD is allowed moderate power saving.
|
|
|
|
### Network Configuration
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Reliable networking for remote development
|
|
WIFI_PWR_ON_AC=off
|
|
WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=on
|
|
|
|
# Ethernet optimization
|
|
WOL_DISABLE=N
|
|
|
|
# Network device power management
|
|
RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_DENYLIST="mei_me nouveau nvidia e1000e"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development often requires reliable network connectivity for git operations, remote debugging, and API calls. Power saving on battery preserves runtime.
|
|
|
|
### GPU and Graphics
|
|
```bash
|
|
# NVIDIA GPU for CUDA development
|
|
RUNTIME_PM_ON_AC=auto
|
|
RUNTIME_PM_ON_BAT=auto
|
|
|
|
# Intel integrated graphics
|
|
INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_AC=300
|
|
INTEL_GPU_MAX_FREQ_ON_AC=1200
|
|
INTEL_GPU_MIN_FREQ_ON_BAT=300
|
|
INTEL_GPU_MAX_FREQ_ON_BAT=600
|
|
|
|
# External display optimization
|
|
RUNTIME_PM_DRIVER_DENYLIST="nvidia nouveau"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: CUDA development requires NVIDIA GPU availability. External displays need reliable graphics performance. Power management is balanced for development needs.
|
|
|
|
### USB and Peripheral Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Development peripherals optimization
|
|
USB_AUTOSUSPEND=1
|
|
USB_EXCLUDE_AUDIO=1
|
|
USB_EXCLUDE_BTUSB=1
|
|
USB_EXCLUDE_PHONE=1
|
|
|
|
# Exclude development devices
|
|
USB_ALLOWLIST="0403:6001 10c4:ea60" # FTDI and CP210x USB-to-serial
|
|
|
|
# Runtime PM exclusions
|
|
USB_EXCLUDE_WWAN=1
|
|
USB_EXCLUDE_PRINTER=1
|
|
|
|
# Autosuspend delays for development tools
|
|
USB_AUTOSUSPEND_DELAY=2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development often involves USB devices like programmers, debuggers, and serial adapters. These need to remain active while other devices can power save.
|
|
|
|
### Audio and Multimedia
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Audio for development (video calls, notifications)
|
|
SOUND_POWER_SAVE_ON_AC=1
|
|
SOUND_POWER_SAVE_ON_BAT=10
|
|
SOUND_POWER_SAVE_CONTROLLER=Y
|
|
|
|
# Timeout for development environment
|
|
SOUND_POWER_SAVE_TIMEOUT=10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Audio power saving with reasonable timeout for development notifications and video calls without impacting quality.
|
|
|
|
### Thermal and Fan Management
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Quiet operation for coding sessions
|
|
TEMP_LIMITS_ON_AC="75/85"
|
|
TEMP_LIMITS_ON_BAT="70/80"
|
|
|
|
# Fan speed control for quiet development
|
|
FAN_SPEED_ON_AC=auto
|
|
FAN_SPEED_ON_BAT=auto
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Lower thermal limits promote quieter fan operation during coding. Higher limits still allow performance during compilation.
|
|
|
|
### System Sleep and Power
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Fast wake for development workflow
|
|
RESTORE_DEVICE_STATE_ON_STARTUP=1
|
|
|
|
# Devices to keep configured
|
|
DEVICES_TO_DISABLE_ON_STARTUP=""
|
|
|
|
# Runtime PM for development
|
|
RUNTIME_PM_ALL=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Rationale**: Development workflow benefits from fast system wake/sleep cycles and maintaining device states for immediate productivity.
|
|
|
|
## Development-Specific Optimizations

|
|
|
### IDE and Editor Performance
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Filesystem optimizations for large codebases

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Container and Virtualization
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Docker/VM optimization
|
|
VM_SWAPPINESS=10

|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### Performance Issues
|
|
- **Slow compilation**: Check CPU governor and thermal throttling
|
|
- **IDE lag**: Monitor memory usage and I/O wait
|
|
- **Network issues**: Verify WiFi power management settings
|
|
|
|
### Power Issues
|
|
- **High idle power**: Check for runaway processes and USB devices
|
|
- **Poor battery life**: Review active background services
|
|
- **Thermal throttling**: Monitor temperatures during heavy workloads
|
|
|
|
### Development Environment Issues
|
|
- **USB device issues**: Check autosuspend settings for development tools
|
|
- **Display problems**: Verify graphics power management
|
|
- **Audio problems**: Check power save timeouts
|
|
|
|
## Custom Scripts
|
|
|
|
### Development Mode Toggle
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
