Power Management and Energy-awareness track

Thursday, November 3, 2016 from 9:30am – 12:30pm
Sweeney CDE
 

The Linux Plumbers 2016 Power Management and Energy-awareness track focuses on topics related to power management frameworks, task scheduling in relation to power/energy optimization, and platform power management mechanisms. The goal is to facilitate cross framework and cross platform discussions that can help improve power and energy-awareness in Linux.
