Telemetry enabled power minimization in mesh and edge computing
One example method includes performing, in an edge device that includes a power source, operations including monitoring a running process and obtaining, based on the monitoring, power consumption information associated with the running process, adjusting, based on the power consumption information, a priority of the running process, and providing, to an entity, the power consumption information and/or information concerning the priority of the running process.
1. A method, comprising:
performing, in an edge device that includes a power source, operations comprising:
receiving, by the edge device, a processing workload of a microservice, wherein the microservice is hosted at another entity, and is accessible by the edge device;
running, at the edge device, a process of the processing workload;
monitoring the running process and obtaining, based on the monitoring, power consumption information associated with the running process;
adjusting, based on the power consumption information, a priority of the running process, and the priority is adjusted with respect to a priority of another process running on the edge device; and
providing, to the another entity, the power consumption information and/or information concerning the priority of the running process.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the running process is associated with an app that is resident on the edge device.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein providing the power consumption information and/or information concerning the priority of the running process comprises displaying, on a user interface, one or both of the power consumption information and the information concerning the priority of the running process.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising setting, or changing, a respective power consumption budget for the running process.
5. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising adjusting a parameter associated with the running process based on input received from a user.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the priority adjustment causes a relative improvement in an efficiency with which power provided by the power source of the edge device is consumed by a group of processes that includes the running process.
7. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the priority comprises a priority for power consumption by the running process.
8. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting of the priority is triggered automatically based on the power consumption information.
9. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein adjusting the priority of the running process comprises rescheduling a start time and/or finish time of another process associated with an app on the edge device.
10. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein adjustment of the priority of the running process is also based in part on user preference information received by way of a user interface.
11. A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by an edge device, a processing workload of a microservice, wherein the microservice is hosted at another entity, and is accessible by the edge device;
running, at the edge device, a process of the processing workload;
monitoring the running process and obtaining, based on the monitoring, power consumption information associated with the running process;
adjusting, based on the power consumption information, a priority of the running process, and the priority is adjusted with respect to a priority of another process running on the edge device; and
providing, to the another entity, the power consumption information and/or information concerning the priority of the running process.
12. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein the running process is associated with an app that is resident on an edge device and consumes power provided by a power source of the edge device.
13. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein providing the power consumption information and/or information concerning the priority of the running process comprises displaying, on a user interface, one or both of the power consumption information and the information concerning the priority of the running process.
14. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , further comprising setting, or changing, a respective power consumption budget for the running process.
15. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprise adjusting a parameter associated with the running process based on input received from a user.
16. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein the priority adjustment causes a relative improvement in an efficiency with which power provided by a power source of an edge device is consumed by a group of processes that includes the running process.
17. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein the priority comprises a priority for power consumption by the running process.
18. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein the adjusting of the priority is triggered automatically based on the power consumption information.
19. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein adjusting the priority of the running process comprises rescheduling a start time and/or finish time of another process associated with an app on an edge device.
20. The non-transitory storage medium as recited in claim 11 , wherein adjustment of the priority of the running process is also based in part on user preference information received by way of a user interface of an edge device.
