Abstract
Embodiments relate to a method for allocating resources and settings in order to optimize application satisfaction in view of hardware resources and adjustable software configurations. As applications are executed on a computing device, usage data is tracked, adjustable settings are identified, and power consumption of each application under different settings is measured. The usage data is then compiled, an optimal configuration setting is assessed for each application, and the setting is conveyed and applied to one or more applications.
Claims5
A method comprising:
- operating two or more applications on a computer device;
- identifying adjustable settings;
- tracking historical usage data, including:
- observing execution and use of applications and associated settings;
- and
- adjusting one or more values of the associated settings based on the observation;
- measuring power consumption of each application;
- compiling historical usage data;
- assessing an optimal configuration setting for each application;
- and
- conveying the optimal configuration setting to one or more application settings.
