how measure design power consumption on Devcloud

I implemented my design on CPU and GPU using Intel Devcloud platform, and I need to measure the power consumption. I tried VTune profiler but when I activate the power usage option the command gives error. I also tried socwatch commands and it also gives error. can you help me to measure or estimate the power consumption of my design on CPU using Devcloud platform?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

We were able to reproduce your issue from our end and working on this internally. We will get back to you with an update.

Tank you for your kind assistance.

In case this details might help, I used the following commands to get vtune analysis for the sample project matrix_multiply.

vtune -collect gpu-hotspots -knob analyze-power-usage=true -result-dir r009hs -- ./matrix.dpcpp
 
and when I added the analyze-power-usage=true in the command it gives the following error:
vtune: Error: Unable to start analysis. Socwatch driver cannot be found. Check if the driver is loaded and the driver group is in the current user group list. For more information, see the SoC Watch User Guide for Android and Linux OS.
vtune: Error: Processor Graphics analysis is only available on systems with Intel Graphics and Intel Graphics Driver installed.
vtune: Warning: Access to /proc/kallsyms file is limited. Consider changing /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict to 0 to enable resolution of OS kernel and kernel module symbols.
 
also I tried socwatch commands, but it was unknown for the system.
as far as I learned, the vtune profiler also uses socwatch to measure power and socwatch needs to be installed on target device, the device we need to measure power on.and this might be the reason why power measuring using vtune works properly on my computer, where I have installed vtune profiler with socwatch in it, but on Devcloud platforms the same commands doesn't work.
I hope details of this issue would help to find and solve the issue.
I appreciate your kind support on this matter. Thank you.

Hi Jaideep,

would you be able to test vtune on intel CPUs or GPUs to get energy estimation? did the problem solved?

I appreciate it if you let me know.

Thank you
