Evaluation of Power Consumption of Workstation Computers using Benchmarking
Abstract
This paper deals with the design and realization of a measurement system for estimating power consumption of workstation computers during the execution of benchmarks. The measurement system and the test bench architecture, designed to measure the instantaneous power consumption from the power line of a workstation motherboard, are presented. Then, the calibration procedure used to compensate systematic effects and to characterize the power measurement system is described. Five benchmarking applications have been performed on an Intel Pentium 4 processor and the corresponding results are shown and discussed in the paper.
