sense

Sense is a small tool to gather data on cpu temperature, power usage and clock frequency and plot graphs during some load.

Dependencies

Sense is written in Rust. If you wish to try sense, you will need to install Rust. See the fine rust-lang web page for more information on how to install Rust.

Sense depends on zenpower3 by Anthony Wang.

Installation

To install you clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/luukvanderduim/sense.git
cd sense
cargo install --path=.

Usage

The intended workflow is:

• start sense
• start workload of interest in another terminal
• stop sense
• profit!

You may want to look at the available command line arguments:

sense --help

Usage: sense [-i <interval>] [-w <write-data>] [-t <title>] [--wxh <wxh>]

Simple tool to sample and plot power consumption, average frequency and cpu die temperatures over time.

Options:
  -i, --interval    optional sample interval in milliseconds (defaults to 1000)
  -w, --write-data  optionally save data series (defaults to `true`)
  -t, --title       optional title (e.g. a condition for the run)
  --wxh             optional image size dimensions WxH (1024x768)
  --help            display usage information

Example:

sense -i 2000 -t "kernel compilation" --wxh 1920x1080
