Abstract
Commodity servers and desktop computers have plenty of resources to meet requirements. However, small devices such as mobile phones, mobile Internet devices (MID), netbooks and laptops are often limited in their usage due to the resources they have. Especially limited power resources are difficult to compensate.
The talk presents common approaches for power management, discusses challenges for operating system designers and gives an outlook for upcoming research efforts in this area.
