PowerJoular and JoularJX: Multi-Platform Software Power Monitoring Tools

Monitoring the power consumption of applications and source code is an important step in writing green software. In this paper, we propose PowerJoular and JoularJX, our software power monitoring tools. We aim to help software developers in understanding and analyzing the power consumption of their programs, and help system administrators and automated tools in monitoring the power consumption of large numbers of heterogeneous devices.
