Abstract
Aspects of the present invention include telemetry measurement in a networking device. In embodiments of the present invention, fine granularity power measurement can be achieved at a component level within a networking device without additional hardware like a multi meter. Coarse level granularity of power management can also be achieved in embodiments of the present invention.
Claims20
A power measurement system in a computing device, comprising:
- a power measurement circuitry including point of load circuitry for measuring telemetry data associated with each component of a plurality of components within the computing device while the computing device is operational;
- a processing module communicatively coupled via a bus to the power measurement circuitry for accessing telemetry data from the power management circuitry about a component from the plurality of components;
- and
- a profiling component for profiling telemetry data measured about at least one component from the plurality of components.
A method for power management in a computing device, comprising:
- using a data processor communicatively coupled to a measurement circuitry via a bus to gather telemetry data associated with each component of a plurality of components within the computing device while the computing device is operational;
- using at least some of the telemetry data measured about at least one of the components from the plurality of components to create a profile of the at least one of the components.
A measurement system for measuring one or more metrics about one or more components in a computing device, the measurement system comprising:
- for each component from a set of components from the computing device:
- a measurement circuitry for measuring data related to one or more metrics associated with the component;
- and
- a bus communicatively coupling the measurement circuitry to a data processor for communicating data with the measurement circuitry;
- and
- the data processor communicatively coupled via buses to the measurement circuitries for communicating data with the measurement circuitry about one or more of the components from the set of components.
