Abstract:
1. A method for quantifying energy consumption of a particular component of a computing system, the computing system receiving energy from an energy source, the method comprising: receiving a data acquisition trace including concurrently with the data acquisition trace, receiving at least one system trace comprising data produced by the particular component of the computing system; receiving first synchronization data from the computing system via the at least one system trace; receiving second synchronization data from the computing system via the second data acquisition trace channel; based on the first and second synchronization data, logically aligning the data acquisition trace and the at least one system trace; based on the alignment, during execution of a predetermined test scenario by the computing system, monitoring the first data acquisition trace channel based on the at least one system trace; and based on the monitoring, quantifying energy consumption of the particular component of a computing system,
