What does Selenium have to do with reducing power usage?

[–] Allon@lemmy.kde.social 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It can be used to create scripts to be runned on kde eco lab to measure the power consumption of your app.

[–] be4foss@floss.social 2 points 4 months ago

@Allon @simple Exactly, it enables automation of user behavior so one can measure energy consumption in a replicable way.

This measurement method is described in detail here (see Fig. 4 for lab setup): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167739X17314188

@Orca @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Nah, it's probably just a small typo, it should say "use"

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Have you measured Akonadi based applications? I just had to uninstall Kontact because the memory consumption brought down my computer. It was also constantly writing to disk and requiring 10% CPU, probably indexing related?

Yeah, disable file indexing or wait until it finishes.
