We’ve recently released a small utility package — NoSleep.jl .
It prevents your laptop or desktop from going to sleep while Julia is performing long computations, and restores the normal sleep behavior when done or failed.
using NoSleep
@nosleep begin
# long-running code here
end
Of course, as alternative you could just disable sleep mode entirely on your laptop, but then it would keep consuming power even when idle.
With @nosleep, the system stays awake only while computations are running, and goes back to normal afterward. Or set nosleep_on() mode for the whole Julia process.
Features:
- Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- No dependencies
- Works both as a macro (
@nosleep) and via simple API:nosleep_on()/nosleep_off()
Feedback, bug reports, and suggestions are welcome!
