I've been lurking a long time.<br> <br> There is perhaps too much introduction here.<br> <br> Why I've been lurking was related to OpenCL (and btrfs) issues related<br> to some upgrading of hardware and software I have on my LAN when time<br> permitted. Well, winter arrived and now there isn't quite so much<br> stuff keeping me away from the computer.<br> <br> In the near future I will have 5 computers attached to 4 UPS, two of<br> which will have Corsair digital power supplies. One computer will have<br> a sort of deprecated AMD GPU, and the others will have newer hardware<br> (mostly Polaris GPUs from AMD). Processors are all AMD.<br> <br> UPS software (NUT or proprietary) can provide estimates of how much<br> power the UPS are providing. Lmsensors seems to have an ability to<br> read GPU temperatures as well as CPU temperatures. SMART may give<br> access to disk data, I am initially thinking that SSD aren't going to<br> provide anything useful. And the Gnome libgtop2 library can provide<br> access to CPU type process data. There is some code out there to get<br> at data from Corsair digital power supplies.<br> <br> Some UPS software is sampling every 2 seconds, some every 15 or 30<br> seconds. What I am looking to do, is to sample a bunch of things at<br> about the same rate and log it (on one machine). Sample the<br> temperatures, sample the power levels and then look through the process<br> statistics to find the N processes that are using more than 10% of any<br> CPU (core).<br> <br> Much of what I am doing now, is public BOINC projects. And these BOINC<br> projects may be interested in this from an energy budget point of<br> view. I have some projects in mind, which a person might be able to do<br> from a BOINC server. And I would like to be able to measure the energy<br> budget on this.<br> <br> Einstein@Home seems to be one of the few BOINC projects which produces<br> jobs for which Mesa3D is the OpenCL provider. I see SETI@Home sending<br> jobs occasionally, but they don't compile as they assume<br> Catalyst/fglrx because I have AMD GPUs.<br> <br> Maybe places like SETI@Home would be inclined to create OpenCL jobs, if<br> there was software to measure energy budget? One could hope.<br> <br> At the moment, I am working in Perl. For getting at Corsair digital<br> power supply data, spawning some program via the shell and capturing<br> output should work for a start, but I probably should try to make a<br> library and do things via XS. GTop has a Perl wrapper at CPAN, I don't<br> think I've seen a Perl wrapper around anything lmsensors related.<br> <br> Too much introduction, I apologise.<br> <br> Are there aspects of GPU use; that Mesa3D provides, should provide or<br> could provide? Especially with respect to OpenCL. Are there<br> places/references where I can learn about this? No paywalled stuff<br> please, I have no budget.<br> <br> If this means writing code (Mesa3D seems to be mostly C, I can do that,<br> but most of my programming is number crunching in FORTRAN) to submit to<br> Mesa3D, I can do that.<br> <br> Other things I should know?<br> <br> If I get something working, github is best place to put this? I think<br> it might be useful at some point.<br> <br> Have a great day!<br> Gord<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> mesa-dev mailing list<br> mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org<br> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev</a><br> </div> </span></font></div> </body> </html>
