 # Hardware Performance Counters (HwPC) Sensor
-
-HardWare Performance Counter (HWPC) Sensor is a tool that monitor the Intel CPU
-performance counter and the power consumption of CPU.
-
-Hwpc-sensor use the RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) technology to monitor CPU
-power consumption. This technology is only available on Intel Sandy Bridge
-architecture or higher.
-
-The sensor use the perf API of the Linux kernel. It is only available on Linux
-and need to have root access to be used.
-
-The sensor couldn’t be used in a virtual machine, it must access (via Linux
-kernel API) to the real CPU register to read performance counter values.
+This project is a lightweight sensor that monitor the Hardware Performance Counters of the cgroups (i.e. containers, systemd units...) running on a Linux system.
