关注微软动态的用户还记得他发布的那份“Windows 7 Power Management”白皮书吗?这个白皮书详细的讲述了Win7的电源管理技术方案,和如何降低电能消耗的原理。那么这个原理是怎么样的呢? 1. 空闲资源的能耗
这是众多省电技术中最根本的一项节电技术。在Win7里,空闲时的耗电量得到有效改善,当某个硬件一定时间不工作后就会进入低功耗状态已达到省电的目的。包括CPU,硬盘,内存以及网络部分都采用了这种技术。举例说就是当系统在空闲状态下基本能耗就是0W。
2. 通过触发来启动服务
在Win7里,部分系统服务只有被一些事件触发后才会启动,如插入某个设备或者更改IP。这样可以减少后台进程里长时间运行的服务数量。
3. 增强的处理器电源管理
Win7里集成了最新的电源管理技术,该技术能够让Win7根据当前负载情况和性能要求来动态的调节CPU性能。也就是我们常说的自动降频技术。
4. 自适应的显示亮度调节
搭载Win7的笔记本中将会内置光线感应器,用来感应使用环境的光线强度,这样操作系统会自动根据周围环境亮度来调整显示器亮度达到省电的目的。
5. 低功率音频
Win7将会支持Intel的低功耗HD音频规范,它能让编解码器进入极低的功耗状态。Win7还支持选择性挂起技术,将处于闲置状态的设备关闭,比如麦克风和摄像头这类USB设备。
6. 计时器整合
处理器通过利用处理指令的间隙空余时间来达到节能目的,但大部分节能技术都需要一定长度的空闲时间才能获得节能效果。而这项技术通过让Windows内核在同一时间内终止并集中原本较为分散的多个计时器,在短时间内处理完毕,从而增加了处理器的空闲时间。当笔记本在使用电池的情况下,Win7会减少非关键后台程序的活动频率。
7. 蓝牙设备功耗改进
当Win7检测到蓝牙设备处于低功耗状态时,会自动切换到“选择性挂起”状态一旦蓝牙设备提高功耗,便将激活蓝牙功能。
8. 网络设备功耗改进
Win7中对于无线网络控制器低功耗模式的兼容性得到了加强,只有在无线AP设备支持低功耗模式的情况下才会启用。Win7会先检测无线AP是否支持低功耗模式,避免无线网络连接突然中断的发生。
9. 典型应用的优化方案
另外Win7还可以将其他硬件能耗降低,如在不影响播放性能的前提下让CPU保持低功耗模式,通过改变架构来改进桌面窗口管理器和GPU的功耗,智能数据缓存能降低光驱转速。
我们来基于Visual C#2010 与WPF实践一下,开发一个Windows 7电源管理演示程序!启动VS2010
创建一个基于.net4.0的WPF文件,然后布局好下列按钮
XAML代码如下
具体代码如下,详细请见代码注释
