ACPI(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), is a Power Management and configuration standard allowing the operating system to control the amount of power each device is given (allowing it to put certain devices on standby or power-off for example). It is also used to control and/or check thermal zones (temperature sensors, fan speeds, etc), battery levels, PCI IRQ routing, CPUs, NUMA domains and many other things.
