US 11,899,514 B2 · Managing power consumption in a software build environment

Abstract

Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage power consumption in a software build environment. In one implementation, a monitoring service monitors power consumption information associated with a build environment for one or more software components. The monitoring service further identifies one or more trends associated with the power consumption information based at least on the power consumption information satisfying one or more criteria and generates a summary for display that indicates at least the one or more trends. The monitoring service may also identify and display as part of the summary one or more suggestions to improve power consumption based on the one or more trends.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

monitoring power consumption information during builds of one or more software components in a build environment, wherein the build environment builds executable code from source code for the one or more software components;
identifying one or more trends associated with the power consumption information based at least on the power consumption information satisfying one or more criteria;
identifying one or more suggestions associated with the power consumption based at least on the one or more trends, wherein the one or more suggestions comprise at least a time-shift suggestion to move one or more future builds of the one or more software components from a first period to a second period;
and
generating, for display, a summary, wherein the summary indicates at least the one or more trends and the one or more suggestions associated with the power consumption.

2 more elements

A computing apparatus comprising:

a storage system;
a processing system operatively coupled to the storage system;
and
program instructions stored on the storage system that, when executed by the processing system, direct the computing apparatus to:
monitor power consumption information during builds of one or more software components in a build environment, wherein the build environment builds executable code from source code for the one or more software components;
identify one or more trends associated with the power consumption information based at least on the power consumption information satisfying one or more criteria;
identify one or more suggestions associated with the power consumption based at least on the one or more trends, wherein the one or more suggestions comprise at least a time-shift suggestion to move one or more future builds of the one or more software components from a first period to a second period or a location suggestion to move one or more future builds of the one or more software components from a first location to a second location;
and
generate, for display, a summary, wherein the summary indicates at least the one or more trends and the one or more suggestions associated with the power consumption.
