Methods and apparatus to align network traffic to improve power consumption

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which cause one or more processors to:

• determine a workload classification by classifying a workload based on network packets obtained via a wireless communication;
• determine a workload protocol for the workload based on the workload classification, the workload protocol identifying when interrupts occur while the workload is running;
• determine an operating system-based interrupt schedule or an application-based interrupt schedule for a platform while running the workload;
• identify, based on the workload protocol and the operating system-based interrupt schedule or the application-based interrupt schedule, a hardware-based sleep schedule that defines one or more wake windows corresponding to predicted network activity intervals of the workload protocol, the hardware-based sleep schedule to identify a subsequent duration of time when hardware will be awake to service network interrupts associated with the workload;
• and
• schedule a network interrupt based on the hardware-based sleep schedule.

A method to schedule interrupts, the method comprising:

• determining, by executing an instruction with a machine learning model, a workload classification by classifying a workload based on network packets obtained via a wireless communication;
• determining, by executing an instruction with processor circuitry, a workload protocol for the workload based on the workload classification, the workload protocol identifying when interrupts occur while the workload is running;
• determining, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, a display wake schedule for a platform while running the workload;
• determining, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, a hardware-based sleep schedule based on the workload protocol and the display wake schedule, the hardware-based sleep schedule defining one or more wake windows corresponding to predicted network activity intervals of the workload protocol, the hardware-based sleep schedule identifying a subsequent duration of time when hardware will be awake to service network interrupts associated with the workload;
• and
• scheduling, by executing an instruction with the processor circuitry, a network interrupt based on the hardware-based sleep schedule.
