Hi,
Are there any plans to provide an estimated power usage model for systems that do not have an external power meter? I would like to be able to provide statistics on approximate power usage for a program in order for customers to be able to make decisions on what hardware to use (or not to use).
I understand that this can never be as accurate as actual measurements, but an estimate that could take things such as CPU, memory and disk usage into account would be very helpful. In my dreams this estimate could somewhat accurately find out the energy usage of the CPU based on model, clock, number of cores in use, turbo modes and so on.
Cheers,
Apabepa
