Detecting and configuring imaging optimization settings during a collaboration session in a heterogenous computing platform

A memory coupled to a heterogeneous computing platform, wherein the heterogeneous computing platform comprises a plurality of devices, wherein the memory is configured to receive a plurality of sets of firmware instructions, wherein each set of firmware instructions, upon execution by a respective device, enables the respective device to provide a corresponding firmware service without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS), and wherein at least one of the plurality of devices operates as an orchestrator configured to:

• receive contextual information;
• and
• select an imaging optimization operation to be performed by another one of the plurality of devices during a collaboration session, at least in part, based upon the contextual information.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a firmware installation package comprising extension drivers in a heterogeneous computing platform comprising a plurality of devices, wherein upon execution, each extension driver causes a respective device to provide a firmware service to other devices via an Application Programming Interface (API);
• and
• delivering an indication of a policy to an orchestrator among the plurality of devices, wherein the policy is usable by the orchestrator to change an imaging optimization setting without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS) executed by the heterogenous computing platform.
