Welcome to pyRAPL’s documentation!

About

pyRAPL is a software toolkit to measure the energy footprint of a host machine along the execution of a piece of Python code.

pyRAPL uses the Intel “Running Average Power Limit” (RAPL) technology that estimates power consumption of a CPU. This technology is available on Intel CPU since the Sandy Bridge generation.

More specifically, pyRAPL can measure the energy consumption of the following CPU domains:

  • CPU socket package

  • DRAM (for server architectures)

  • GPU (for client architectures)

Miscellaneous

PyRAPL is an open-source project developed by the Spirals research group (University of Lille and Inria) that take part of the Powerapi initiative.
