Power efficiency calculation device, power efficiency calculation method, power efficiency calculation system, and program

A power efficiency calculation method for a power efficiency calculation device for calculating power efficiency by executing an application installed on a physical server group, wherein

• the power efficiency calculation device executes:
• a step of collecting metrics, which are assessment indexes necessary for power efficiency calculation and include a task execution amount and power consumption of the physical server group, from the physical server group, and storing the metrics in a metrics collection DB in a storage unit;
• a step of acquiring the task execution amount stored in the metrics collection DB, extracting a change in the task execution amount in a predetermined time interval as a component of frequency, and determining a metrics measurement interval using the frequency extracted;
• a step of determining, as a power efficiency calculation interval, an interval that is equal to or greater than the metrics measurement interval determined and equal to or less than a minimum executable interval indicating a time from start to completion of power efficiency control;
• and
• a step of calculating the power efficiency in the determined power efficiency calculation interval using the metrics collected at the metrics measurement interval determined.
