NVIDIA Research Summit

Sun, 2 Aug 2009 16:03:22 GMT

September 30 - October 2, 2009 - The Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California

The NVIDIA Research Summit is a cross-disciplinary forum during the GPU Technology Conference. The Research Summit is intended for researchers and students interested in using GPUs in science and engineering. Attendees new to GPU computing will learn how GPU computing can drastically increase computational power and dramatically reduce time-to-discovery; attendees already using GPU computing can learn advanced topics in GPU computing, discuss their work with NVIDIA engineers and researchers and network with each other.

xmobar battery plugin using sysfs, not procfs

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 01:11:36 GMT

As the lastest kernel image (2.6.29-1) on Debian Sid did not have CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER enabled by default, the battery plugin of xmobar, a status bar application for xmonad, stopped working.

I could easily think of two options: (1) recompile the kernel image with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER enabled, or (2) write a xmobar plugin that does not depend on procfs. After giving a bit of thought to it, I decided to write a xmobar plugin that does not depend on procfs. It seemed that procfs was deprecated and, in a long run, sysfs would be preferred over procfs.

The plugin, SysfsBatt.hs, has been written, and Monitors.hs has been modified.

In order to recompile xmobar with the above files, you could simply follow these steps, assuming that you are in the xmobar src directory:

$ cd Plugins/Monitors
$ wget http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~seanl/misc/SysfsBatt.hs
$ cd ..
$ wget http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~seanl/misc/Monitors.hs
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs build
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs install

My .xmobarrc uses SysfsBatt in case an example is needed.
