Energy monitoring of an allocation

[Jacob Goldverg]

Hi Everyone,

I have a few questions which are all interrelated regarding experimentation for energy monitoring with WAN’s.

1. Is there any way to monitor the energy consumption of a VM allocation via Intel RAPL? Usually I find the latest readings in /sys/class where there are rapl specific files that report the # of joules. Is this available in the VM as typically in cloud providers like AWS this is not provided??

2. Currently my WAN experiments utilize traceroute to get a list of IP’s where I then geolocate the IP’s. In Fabric in the IP addresses are all private hence I was wondering if there some other API that I could utilize to get the coordinates of roughly where the hops are located.

3. Coming back to hops, is there anyway I could capture the energy consumption of a hop? Today I currently utilize Simgrid where I have predefined the byte to joule ratio that lets me estimate the energy used by that specific hop. I could use this same approach with Fabric assuming I have the make and model of routers & switches used in my network path, but it would more ideal if I could query some API to let me know the real time energy consumption of my data flow.

 

Thank you for answering these loaded questions.

 

Best,

Jacob
