Measuring the User For CPU Frequency Scaling 190
An anonymous reader writes "The Empathic Systems Project a Northwestern University demonstrate up to 50% power savings by controlling CPU frequency scaling based upon the end user. They measure the user with eye trackers, galvanic skin response, and force sensors to find a CPU frequency that the user is satisfied with.
They are currently studying user activity and system performance on mobile architectures, specifically the Android G1 phone."

The correct CPU and frequency is currently a 100GHz 16 Core beast with 4TB of RAM. Of course I will NEED a machine that is twice as fast in 18 months.

I'd like a computer that speeds up, every time I smash the keyboard or mouse in anger, you know, like a human would...
That should be easier to implement than my previous suggestion, which was a speech recognition algo that interprets swearing in various languages and can tell the difference in intensity between "Ah crap" and "STUPID F&@#IN' GODDAMNED TABARNAK MOTHERF&*@&#$ OUTLOOK!".
