Hi Len,

I would like to attend if a slot is still available.

I have been working on scheduler enhancements for task consolidation.

I would like to discuss challenges in implementing the above features
for various application and workload characteristics.

I would like to discuss the impact of power management features in
guest OS on the overall host system and challenges with power and
performance trade-off in virtualized environments with multiple
