smartwatts 0.8.5

SmartWatts is a formula for a self-adaptive software-defined power meter based on the PowerAPI framework.

SmartWatts is a software-defined power meter based on the PowerAPI toolkit. SmartWatts is a configurable software that can estimate the power consumption of software in real-time. SmartWatts need to receive several metrics provided by [hwpc-sensor](https://github.com/powerapi-ng/hwpc-sensor) :

• The Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)

• TSC

• APERF

• MPERF

• CPU_CLK_THREAD_UNHALTED:REF_P

• CPU_CLK_THREAD_UNHALTED:THREAD_P

• LLC_MISSES

• INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED

The reasons of those metrics are described in [SmartWatts: Self-Calibrating Software-Defined Power Meter for Containers](https://hal.inria.fr/hal-02470128)

# About
