Overview Update 2/18/98: Intel announces the availability of the IPEAK family of platform performance tools. Ordering and pricing information Order by calling 800-538-3373 ext. 301.
Intel's IPEAK Power Management Toolkit has been developed to help PC OEMs and IHVs to incorporate the Power Management initiative in product design and system integration processes. The Intel Power Management Analysis Tool (IPMAT) is the first to be developed for the Power Management Toolkit. IPMAT helps to ensure proper integration of ACPI and Instantly Available PC by enabling the capability to test for supported ACPI states at both the system and device level. The tool can be used to qualify power management functionality, quantify power consumption, and test the behavior of apps participating in Global System Power Management. IPMAT can also be used for vendor selection and qualification by checking for the ACPI power management support of hardware, devices, drivers and applications and the resume latencies associated with the state changes.
IPMAT offers manual, automatic and monitor modes of evaluating ACPI device and system states with an option to select an individual device/driver in the system. IPMAT interfaces to a digital watt meter to automatically measure power and current consumed by the system under test. The digital watt meter is required only if power and current measurements have to be recorded. IPMAT creates and manages a database of baseboards, add-in cards, test configuration, PM qualifying parameters, test results and applications. The results for each test run would be stored in the database and available for a given baseboard and configuration at a later time for analysis.
