ABSTRACT:
A software-implemented tool for monitoring CPU power usage in a personal computer system, especially well-suited for use in battery-powered computers running a Windows.RTM. operating system, includes a virtual device driver for causing the computer system's processor to enter a low-power state when software running on the computer system is idle. A monitor routine is in communication with the virtual device driver for gathering and storing information relating to a condition of the computer system while the processor is in its low-power state. A user interface routine is also provided to facilitate displaying this information to a system user.
