14:33:44 <jskarvad> the good new - I am currently working on it
14:34:27 <jskarvad> I would like to finish it this week

14:40:42 <jskarvad> #topic other
14:41:20 <jskarvad> vpodzime proposed new formula for counting the scomes score
14:41:34 <jskarvad> scomes is systemtap script that is part of the tuned package
14:42:21 <jskarvad> it counts score according to the activity of the monitored application (e.g. number of syscalls, number of bytes read/written)
14:42:38 <jsmith-away> Interesting...
14:43:09 <jskarvad> The idea behind scomes score is following: higher score means more power demanding application.
14:43:22 <jskarvad> So it can be used for very simple measurements / comparisons.
14:44:40 <jskarvad> vpodzime also tried to directly correlate this score with the real power consumption, but he was not successful in finding general formula
14:46:15 <jskarvad> the new scomes score formula obtained from vpodzime work will be merged in the next version of tuned
14:49:07 <jskarvad> And as last for today - short reminder: we will held F15 release party in RH Brno office next Tuesday (24th May) from 06:00 PM
14:49:18 <jsmith-away> w00t!
