Power Management and Scheduling in the Linux Kernel

(OSPM Summit) II edition

Power management and scheduling techniques to reduce energy consumption while meeting performance and latency requirements are receiving considerable attention from the Linux Kernel development community.

After the success of the first edition (https://lwn.net/Articles/721573/), the II edition of the Power Management and Scheduling in the Linux Kernel (OSPM) summit aims at replicating such focused discussions, understanding what has been achieved and what instead still remains to be addressed.

Format

The summit is organized to cover three days of discussions and talks.

The list of topics of interest includes (but it is not limited to):

  • Power management techniques
  • Real-time and non real-time scheduling techniques
  • Energy awareness
  • Mobile/Server power management real-world use cases (successes and failures)
  • Power management and scheduling tooling (tracing, configuration, integration testing, etc.)
  • Tracing
  • Recap lightning talks (what has been achieved w.r.t. I edition?)
