Tasks are selected for hibernation by recording user preferences for tasks having no penalty for hibernation and sleep; and assigning thresholds for battery power at which tasks are selected for a least one of hibernation and sleep. The assigning of the thresholds for battery power include considering current usage of hardware resources by a user and battery health per battery segment. A penalty score is determined for tasks based upon the user preferences for tasks having no penalty, and task performance including at least one of frequency of utilization, memory utilization, task dependency characteristics and task memory hierarchy. The penalty performance is a value including both the user preference and the task performance. Tasks can then be put into at least one of hibernation mode and sleep mode dictated by their penalty performance during the thresholds for battery power.
