The Power Management and Thermal Control microconference focuses on power management and thermal control infrastructure, CPU and device power-management mechanisms, and thermal control methods.
In particular, we are interested in improving the thermal control infrastructure in the kernel to cover more use cases and utilizing energy-saving opportunities offered by modern hardware in new ways.
The goal is to facilitate cross-framework and cross-platform discussions that can help improve energy-awareness and thermal control in Linux.
The current list of topics proposed so far includes the following:
- Thermal control framework improvements and possible extensions.
- Problems with using netlink for communication between the kernel and users space in the thermal control framework.
- Thermal control debug infrastructure.
- Memory power management.
- CPU performance scaling in virtualized systems.
- Extensions and improvements related to energy-saving states.
