Software power analysis

Abstract

Methods and systems for providing software power analysis. In an example, a computerized method, and system for performing the method includes determining at least one performance monitoring counter value for at least one processor. A frequency of operation is determined for the processor. A power dissipation level is calculated for the processor using a computing device and the power dissipation level is provided as an output. In an example, at least one application programming interface is received. In an example, at least one application is run. In an example, a default file is generated. The default file contains at least one power model parameter and at least one estimated frequency of operation. In an example, several performance monitoring counter values are generated for at least one core in a multi-core processor. In an example, a software power analyzer control thread is executed.
