Management of performance and power consumption of edge devices

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program instructions wherein, when the at least one processor executes the computer program instructions, the apparatus is configured:
• to coordinate operation of a plurality of edge devices in a system to process a plurality of workloads;
• wherein, in coordinating of the operation of the plurality of edge devices in the system, the apparatus is configured to coordinate one or more times for changing a state of at least a subset of the plurality of edge devices from a first state corresponding to a first level of activity to a second state corresponding to a second level of activity.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising machine executable instructions, the machine executable instructions, when executed, causing a processing device:

• to coordinate operation of a plurality of edge devices in a system to process a plurality of workloads;
• wherein, in coordinating of the operation of the plurality of edge devices in the system, the machine executable instructions cause the processing device to coordinate one or more times for changing a state of at least a subset of the plurality of edge devices from a first state corresponding to a first level of activity to a second state corresponding to a second level of activity.
