Energon

Energon is a framework to create and run software energy consumption tests.

History

The first release of Energon was edited by Davide Morelli, a PhD Student of Computer Science at the University of Pisa. His work paid attention also to the hardware infrastructure underlying (classified by Pattern of Memory Access, CPU, Compilers, etc...) to estimate the energy consumptions of a running generic algorithm.

This repository contains the second release of Energon.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

It requires a couple of PC with TCP connections, a phidgets ammeter and .NET 4 (installed on both a tested PC and a control PC).

• You have a (or a couple of) Windows Machine(s) with TCP connections;
• You have a Phidgets ammeter (like this: https://www.phidgets.com/?tier=3&catid=16&pcid=14&prodid=93)
• You have installed the Phidget21.NET.dll compatible for your OS: https://www.phidgets.com/docs21/Language_-_C_Sharp#Libraries_and_Drivers.
• You have installed the .NET Framework Runtime version 4.0 or above: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net40.
• You have installed the WCF Activation Component: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/feature-details/how-to-install-and-configure-wcf-activation-components

Using Energon

To use Energon, follow these steps:

• Open Energon solution through your Visual Studio IDE and press "Start" button to execute the application.
• Once it's running, it will appear a form in which you'll have to enter the code to be compiled (the largest in the left) and the parameters to be passed at run time (the smallest in the right).
• Once entered, click on the "Run" button to proceed with the execution of the entered code.
• The results will be stored in an existing SQL server table (to create it take a look at the file: EndPointWCFLibraries/DataAccess.cs) and visible in new files created locally in the client machine.
