GEOPM
Fine-grained low-latency batch access to power metrics and control knobs on Linux
Key Features
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 system’s energy and power consumption, and safely optimize system hardware settings to achieve energy efficiency and/or performance objectives.
With GEOPM, a system administrator can:
Grant per-user or per-group access to individual metrics and controls, even when their underlying interfaces do not offer fine-grained access control
Ensure that user-driven changes to hardware settings are reverted when the user’s process session terminates
Develop your own platform-specific monitor and control interfaces through the extensible plugin architecture
With GEOPM, an end user can:
Interact with hardware settings and sensors (e.g., set a CPU power limit or read a GPU’s current power consumption) using a platform-agnostic interface
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
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
Gather large groups of signal-reads or control-writes into batch operations, often reducing total latency to complete the operations.
