Claim 13:
14. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program instructions wherein, when the at least one processor executes the computer program instructions, the apparatus is configured:
to coordinate operation of a plurality of edge devices in a system to process a plurality of workloads;
wherein, in coordinating of the operation of the plurality of edge devices in the system, the apparatus is configured:
to coordinate one or more times for changing a state of at least a subset of the plurality of edge devices from a first state corresponding to a first level of activity to a second state corresponding to a second level of activity, wherein the one or more times for changing the state of at least the subset of the plurality of edge devices are based at least in part on limiting a number of state changes for at least the subset of the plurality of edge devices; and
to coordinate one or more times for processing of the plurality of workloads by at least the subset of the plurality of edge devices in the system to align with the one or more times for changing the state of at least the subset of the plurality of edge devices from the first state to the second state.
