This is a Request For Participation in a micro-conference at this years Linux plumbers event. For this micro conference to happen we need to reach a certain critical mass WRT participants as measured by submitted talks associated to Power Management Constraints. The To: list is populated with folks that I've had interactions with over extending pm-qos or constraint based PM over the past year. If you are working on problems related to constraining the power / performance of devices I am inviting your participation and request you submit a proposal for presenting your problem space (preferred) and or solution to a group of developers looking for a good solution to push upstream. The talks will be about 20 min long as I want to get into some design and implementation discussions after the requirements definition is mostly finished. I am interested in gathering user mode interface needs as well as kernel mode. >From a high level pm-constraints is a generalization of pm-qos to include limiting performance as well as its current limiting of device throttling. As performance limiting is typically used for any of the following: 1) staying within thermal operational envelopes 2) avoiding peak current 3) extending battery life in active use cases I invite anyone working in any of these areas or pm-qos applications to participate in this micro-conference. I will organize the micro-conference into 2 parts: 1) problem statements with specific participant examples where constraining the performance or throttling is needed. 2) high level design brain storming. If the micro-conference happens (i.e. critical mass is reached) any interested linux-plumbers attendees is very welcome to participate. Please send me an off list email if you want me to add you to my mutt alias of interested parties I'll use to cc people on emails. Note: must of the correspondence will cc linux-pm too. Please submit a proposal if you are interested in participating in this with me. I know a number of people are working in this space for the past few years now. I think its a good time to compare notes and at least consolidate requirements and use cases. Perhaps we'll even come up with a good design to implement in the process. thanks, --mark _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
