Energy measurement tools

As the software industry increasingly prioritizes sustainability, the development of reliable energy measurement tools has become essential. These tools are critical not only for facilitating accurate assessments of software energy consumption but also for enabling developers to make informed decisions aimed at optimizing energy efficiency. However, measuring the energy consumption of software is far from trivial. Possessing the skills to measure and interpret energy data effectively is fundamental in the creation of green software.

Note

Listing all the available tools for energy measurement and efficiency is an impossible task and deserves a separate comprehensive guide. Instead, the following is a curated list reflecting the author’s subjective opinion. It is intended to serve as an introductory guide to the various tools and techniques available at the time of writing.

A wide range of hardware and software tools for measuring power consumption...
