Abstract
An optimizer mechanism to increase battery length for mobile devices is provided. An operational state of a data processing system, e.g., a mobile device, is adjusted so as to achieve a target time period of operation when the data processing system is using a depleting power supply. A predicted power consumption of individual processes executing on the data processing system is determined and a remaining amount of power that the depleting power supply can provide is also determined. A subset of processes whose execution can be suspended is determined so that the data processing system can operate for the target period of time based on the predicted power consumption of the individual processes and the amount of power that the depleting power supply can provide. The identified subset of processes are placed in a suspended execution state.
