1 TMON - A Monitoring and Testing Tool for Linux
2
3 Why TMON?
4 ==========
5 Increasingly, Linux is running on thermally co
6 thermal relationship between processor and fan
7 computers.
8
9 As hardware vendors cope with the thermal cons
10 and more sensors are added, new cooling capabi
11 complexity of the thermal relationship can gro
12 devices, zones, sensors, and trip points. They
13
14 To expose such relationship to the userspace,
15 introduced sysfs entry at /sys/class/thermal w
16 links, trip point bindings, and device instanc
17 matrix by hand is not a trivial task. Testing
18 thermal conditions are often exception cases t
19 normal operations.
20
21 TMON is conceived as a tool to help visualize,
22 complex thermal subsystem.
