Hi folks. I'm not sure if this is in the scope of devkit-power, but i'd at least like to bring that topic up here as it is something our engineering team here is looking at the moment.
The basic simple idea is to adapt the latencies on the fly depending on the current state and load of the various components. E.g. take a fileserver in a SMB company that has to do quite a bit of work during the day but could be run in a much more powered down state during the night or over the weekends. Using monitoring information e.g. from collectd or other sources this could automatically be detected though and then the system could be automatically transitioned into a related power saving states depending on the load. I'd personally like to use devkit-power and it's API as a service, as overloading it with such functionality might very quickly lead to the problems we've seen in the past with HAL where everything was put into a single service. Right now devkit-power already provides a lot of the things that would be needed by such a service, so i'm mainly posting this to let you know we're working on something like that and would like to work with you and use devkit-power as a service for it. What do you guys think? Any comments, suggestions or feedback is very welcome.
