<li><strong>Implement passive cooling in ACPI thermal</strong>: The
cpufreq interface should be used to cool the processor, based on
the various _PSV settings. Also, we need to implement variable
polling intervals for thermal zones based on both the passive
settings and polling explicitly specified in the ASL. This
project requires good knowledge of C, an understanding of the
hardware/software interface, a laptop that works with ACPI, and
kernel awareness. <a href="mailto:njl@FreeBSD.org">&a.njl;</a> is

<li><strong>Suspend to disk</strong>: 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. This project
requires good knowledge of C, an understanding of the
hardware/software interface, a laptop that works with ACPI, and
kernel awareness. <a href="mailto:njl@FreeBSD.org">&a.njl;</a> is

<li><strong>Implement and profile various algorithms for
powerd(8)</strong>: Implement a range of predictive algorithms
(and perhaps design your own) and profile them for power usage and
performance loss. The best algorithm will save the most power
while losing the least performance. Requires basic C knowledge,
laptop supported by cpufreq(4) (suggest newer Pentium-M CPU), and
some statistics. <a href="mailto:njl@FreeBSD.org">&a.njl;</a> is
