I'm trying to start an informal research collective to find ways to reduce the carbon emissions of popular open source software: https://lowcarbon.software/
I'm looking for strategies for measuring the energy usage of software, to see whether this goal is achievable. Does anyone know of any resources on methods of doing this, beyond e.g. powertop?
@vladh using an outlet that can measure output and correlating with intel power gadget (for certain intel processors)
you could setup an alpine linux server, measure base consumption rate and then exercise the system under test, subtracting the baseline in the end.
