.:: FOCUS

Power management and scheduling techniques to reduce energy consumption while
meeting performance and latency requirements are receiving considerable
attention from the Linux Kernel development community. 

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.
