  • Implement passive cooling in ACPI thermal: The + cpufreq interface should be used to cool the processor, based on + the various _PSV settings.

  • Suspend to disk: Implement a suspend/resume + from disk mechanism. Possibly use the dump functions to dump + pages to disk, then use ACPI to put the system in S4 or power-off. + Resume would require changes to the loader to load the memory + image directly and then begin executing again.

  • Implement and profile various algorithms for + powerd(8): Implement a range of predictive algorithms + (and perhaps design your own) and profile them for power usage and + performance loss.

Requires basic C knowledge, + laptop supported by cpufreq(4) (suggest newer Pentium-M CPU), and + some statistics. &a.njl; is + coordinating.
