We […]

Power Management and Energy-awareness Microconference Accepted into 2018 Linux Plumbers Conference

Use of Linux on battery-powered systems continues to grow, and general energy-efficiency concerns are not going away any time soon. The Power Management and Energy-awareness micro-conference therefore continues a Linux Plumbers Conference tradition of looking into ways to improve energy efficiency. In spite of significant progress made over the last year on multiple fronts, including but not limited to the […]
