Sensors Aggregation in Thermal Management Systems - Linux Plumbers Conference

Explore a technical presentation on sensor aggregation in thermal management systems for Linux. Learn about the challenges of managing multiple sensors in a single performance domain and the proposed solution of aggregating sensors into a single thermal zone. Discover how this approach can improve the effectiveness of governors and cooling devices, especially when using the energy model with power allocators. Understand the current limitations of PID loops in shared cooling device scenarios and how sensor aggregation can address these issues. Gain insights into the existing device tree bindings for sensor aggregation and the potential for implementation in Linux systems.
