/**
* @defgroup SystemHealth
+*
+ * SystemHealth provides access to data about how various system resources are used by applications.
+ *
+ * CPU/GPU headroom APIs are designed to be best used by applications with consistent and intense
+ * workload such as games to query the remaining capacity headroom over a short period and perform
+ * optimization accordingly. Due to the nature of the fast job scheduling and frequency scaling of
+ * CPU and GPU, the headroom by nature will have "TOCTOU" problem which makes it less suitable for
+ * apps with inconsistent or low workload to take any useful action but simply monitoring. And to
+ * avoid oscillation it's not recommended to adjust workload too frequent (on each polling request)
+ * or too aggressively. As the headroom calculation is more based on reflecting past history usage
+ * than predicting future capacity. Take game as an example, if the API returns CPU headroom of 0 in
+ * one scenario (especially if it's constant across multiple calls), or some value significantly
+ * smaller than other scenarios, then it can reason that the recent performance result is more CPU
+ * bottlenecked. Then reducing the CPU workload intensity can help reserve some headroom to handle
+ * the load variance better, which can result in less frame drops or smooth FPS value. On the other
+ * hand, if the API returns large CPU headroom constantly, the app can be more confident to increase
+ * the workload and expect higher possibility of device meeting its performance expectation.
+ * App can also use thermal APIs to read the current thermal status and headroom first, then poll
+ * the CPU and GPU headroom if the device is (about to) getting thermal throttled. If the CPU/GPU
+ * headrooms provide enough significance such as one valued at 0 while the other at 100, then it can
+ * be used to infer that reducing CPU workload could be more efficient to cool down the device.
+ * There is a caveat that the power controller may scale down the frequency of the CPU and GPU due
+ * to thermal and other reasons, which can result in a higher than usual percentage usage of the
+ * capacity.
