Heatload is a GTK-based utility that provides real-time graphical representation of CPU load and ACPI temperature. It enables quick monitoring of these metrics to maintain system health.
Heatload is a valuable tool for Linux users seeking to monitor their CPU load in relation to its temperature. This software plots the two variables against one another, based on data measured by the ACPI subsystem.
To install Heatload, users should navigate to the distribution directory and run "./configure" to configure the source tree. Then, they should run "make" for compilation and "make install" (as root) for installation. It is also important to note that Heatload is currently only tested on Linux 2.6.
This software was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from January 2005 but should work on most other Linux distributions due to its use of GNU autoconf for source code configuration. However, Heatload requires gtkmm 2.4 and a Linux kernel with support for ACPI on a machine that supports temperature measuring via ACPI. It is important to keep in mind that not all machines with ACPI support temperature measurement via ACPI.
Overall, Heatload is a great software tool for Linux users, with its ability to monitor CPU load and temperature in such a detailed and informative manner.
