virtualwatts 0.1.1

VirtualWatts is a formula for a software-defined power meter based on the PowerAPI framework.

VirtualWatts is a software-defined power meter based on the PowerAPI toolkit. VirtualWatts a configurable software that can estimate the power consumption of process inside a VM in real-time. VirtuallWatts is supposed to be used inside a VM. It need to receive two metrics :

• The energy consumption of the VM, usually made with [SmartWatts](https://github.com/powerapi-ng/smartwatts-formula)

• The cpu usage of the tracked processes and the global cpu usage, as provided by [procfs-sensor](https://github.com/powerapi-ng/procfs-sensor).

# About

VirtualWatts is an open-source project developed by the [Spirals research group](https://team.inria.fr/spirals) (University of Lille 1 and Inria).
