Surely we can also measure actual heat and actual electricity usage? If not per program obviously, then as a reference or benchmark or calibration.

- AnthonBerg 11y agoDownvote? Let me rephrase: There are temperature and battery charge sensors in the machines. We can use these to better calibrate the "virtual" energy usage metrics.
- DasIch 11y agoThese only help you determine the state of the entire system. They provide no information about the impact individual applications or processes have especially not relative to each other.
- kec 11y agoYou can't use temperature to accurately model power consumption, if for no other reason than that it's too heavily influenced by environmental factors. "Battery charge" sensors are problematic because they're hard to keep in calibration without interrupting normal operation of the system.
