MPI-Wattmeter

MPI-Wattmeter measures the power consumption of MPI programs.

Running an application

mpirun mpi_wattmeter [options] myappli

The following options can be passed to MPI Interceptor:

-v or --verbose
- Set verbosity level (default level: 0)
-d or --details
- Print detailed measurements (default level: 0)

Building MPI-Wattmeter

git clone https://github.com/trahay/mpi-wattmeter.git
mkdir mpi-wattmeter/build
cd mpi-wattmeter/build
cmake ..  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PWD/../install
make install

Example

In this example, we run NAS Parallel Benchmark BT kernel:


$ mpirun -np 4 mpi_wattmeter  ./bin/bt.A.4

Adding the -d option prints the collected data for each machine.

Several hardware counters are collected:

energy-cores: energy consumed by the CPU
energy-gpu: energy consumed by the integrated GPU
energy-ram: energy consumed by the RAM
energy-pkg: energy consumed by the whole socket (usually this corresponds to CPU+RAM)
energy-psys: total energy consumed by the machine
