Abstract

We present a prototype toolkit for researchers to accurately measure and model their application’s power and energy usage. We provide an analysis of a matrix multiplication application using our api libhclenergy.

This research is supported by the Structured PhD in Simulation Science which is funded by the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions (PRTLI) Cycle 5 and co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. This work is partially supported by EU under the COST Program Action IC1305: Network for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing (NESUS).
