GEOPM๏
Fine-grained low-latency batch access to power metrics and control knobs on Linux
The Global Extensible Open Power Manager (GEOPM) provides a framework to explore power and energy optimizations on platforms with heterogeneous mixes of computing hardware.
Users can monitor their systemโs energy and power consumption, and safely optimize system hardware settings to achieve energy efficiency and/or performance objectives.
Source Code๏
To get the latest source code clone the git repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/geopm/geopm.git
With GEOPM, a system administrator can:๏
- ๐ Utilize fine-grained access management
Grant per-user or per-group access to individual metrics and controls
Gain more granular management of features than the underlying OS access mechanisms provide
- ๐ฆบ Provide safe access to hardware settings
Ensure that user-driven changes to hardware settings are reverted when the userโs process session terminates
- ๐๏ธ Extend the open-core framework
Develop your own platform-specific monitor and control interfaces through the extensible plugin architecture
With GEOPM, an end user can:๏
- ๐ฌ Interact with hardware settings and sensors
Platform-agnostic interface
Support for a wide range of Linux device drivers
Examples: set a CPU power limit, read a GPUโs current power consumption, limit the frequency range of system sub-components
- โฑ๏ธ Measure application performance
Generate summarized reports of power and energy behavior during execution of an application
Automatically detect MPI and OpenMP phases in an application, generating per-phase summaries within application reports
- ๐ Implement optimization objectives
Optimize applications to improve energy efficiency or reduce the effects of work imbalance, system jitter, and manufacturing variation through built-in control algorithms
Develop your own runtime control algorithms through the extensible plugin architecture
- ๐๏ธ Build fast efficient software
Gather large groups of signal-reads or control-writes into batch operations
Batch interface often reduces total latency to complete the operations
