  • Publication number: 20210232425
    Abstract: An information handling system may determine that a first process of a list of processes is a top-ranked process and may adjust one or more settings of the information handling system associated with the first process. The information handling system may monitor performance parameters of the information handling system following the adjustment of the settings. Based on monitoring the performance parameters, the information handling system may determine that a performance score of the information handling system is below a threshold performance score and may reduce a ranking of the first process based on the determination. The ranking of the first process may be reduced such that a second process becomes a new top-ranked process. The information handling system may then adjust one or more settings associated with the second process.

  • Publication number: 20210234938
    Abstract: Settings on an information handling system may be adjusted to set priority levels for processes executing on the information handling system in view of desired operational characteristics of the information handling system for a user persona and in view of expected future events for the information handling system. A score may be generated based on a user persona (e.g., whether a user is a light gamer, heavy gamer, corridor warrior, or desk worker) and expected future computer contexts (e.g., an expectation that a user will play a game in one hour). That score may be used to determine policies (e.g., high performance, balanced, or battery saver) to implement through settings on the computer system. Consideration of user persona classifications, associated group behaviors, and dynamic system contexts (including resource extremas, location, temporal context, and predicted future events) improve use of system resources through prioritization and governing of diverse optimization methods.
