This patch introduces an algorithm that computes the average power by
reading a delta value of âcore power accumulatorâ register during
measurement interval, and then dividing delta value by the length of
the time interval.

User is able to use power1_acc entry to measure the processor power
consumption and power1_acc just needs to be read twice with an needed
interval in-between.

A simple example:

$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc
$ sleep 10000s
$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc

The result is current average processor power consumption in 10000
seconds. The unit of the result is uWatt.

I am not really a friend of introducing a non-standard attribute.
Does the energy attribute not work here ?


You're right. Non-standard attribute might not be good. Could you
please give me some hints if I use "energy" instead?

1 Joule = 1 Watt-second.

Something else, though - did you make sure that your code doesn't overflow ?
Even though you calculate the average in an u64, you display it as unsigned.

100w * 10,000s = 1,000,000ws = 1,000,000,000,000 micro-watt-seconds, which is
a bit large for an unsigned.

Also, the values should not be reset after reading, but accumulate.

Also, I think your code may be vulnerable to overflows on the CPU register side.
How long does it take before the CPU counters overflow ?

Thanks,
Guenter
