The Power Management and Scheduling in the Linux Kernel (OSPM-summit) summit aims at fostering further interest and discussion to happen. .:: FORMAT The summit is organized to cover two days of discussions and talks. First day is mainly focused on discussion and hacking sessions about topics/patches that are already under review in the Linux kernel mailing lists and to debate and plan development tasks for more forward looking work items centred around power management in the Linux kernel. The list of topics includes (but it is not limited to): * Energy Aware Scheduling: next steps and energy model expression; * SCHED_DEADLINE reclaiming of unused bandwidth, coupling with schedutil cpufreq governor and group scheduling support; * fix the load metric exposed to cpuidle; * IRQ prediction; * ACPI power management: kernel/firmware bindings and development model; Second day instead welcomes presentations from both end users and developers on topics about Power management and scheduling in Linux covering, but 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.) Presentations can cover recently developed technologies, ongoing work and new ideas. Please understand that this workshop is not intended for presenting sales and marketing pitches. .:: ATTENDING Attending the OSPM-summit is free of charge, but registration to the event is mandatory.
