PowerAPI

Participants : Aurélien Bourdon, Adel Noureddine, Romain Rouvoy [correspondant] .

PowerAPI is a Scala-based library for monitoring energy at the process-level. It is based on a modular and asynchronous event-driven architecture using the Akka library. PowerAPI differs from existing energy process-level monitoring tool in its pure software, fully customizable and modular aspect which let users precisely define what they want to monitor, without plugging any external device. PowerAPI offers an API which can be used to express requests about energy spent by a process, following its hardware resource utilization (in terms of CPU, memory, disk, network, etc.). Its applications cover energy-driven benchmarking [52] , energy hotspots and bugs detection [53] , [75] and real-time distributed system monitoring.
