Abstract

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for reducing power consumption and improving performance on a computing device. A method includes scheduling, with a driver on the computing device, one or more activity times that indicate when the driver will be active and storing the one or more activity times that indicate when the driver will be active. When a request to suspend a system of the computing device is received, the stored activity times are accessed to identify when the driver will be active, and a determination is made whether any of the one or more activity times is scheduled to occur within a suspend time window. If the driver will not be active during the suspend time window, suspension of the system is initiated.
