Abstract

The energy consumption of a computing system depends not only on its architecture, but also on its usage. This paper describes the Energy Consumption Library (libec), a modular library of sensors and power estimators, which do not depend on wattmeter to measure the power dissipated by a machine and/or the applications that it executes, etc. In addition, four use cases are used to demonstrate some of the library’s capabilities.
