PowerJoular is a command line software to monitor, in real time, the power consumption of software and hardware components.

PowerJoular is part of the Joular Project project.

PowerJoular can monitor the power consumption, in real time, of the CPU and the GPU in general, and also for a specific application (through its name or PID). It works on a Linux system and on multiple platforms (x86_64, ARM) and devices (computers, servers, Raspberry Pi, etc.).

The official website of PowerJoular is: https://www.noureddine.org/research/joular/powerjoular.

Features

  • Monitor power consumption of CPU and GPU of PC/servers
  • Monitor power consumption of individual applications or processes in GNU/Linux
  • Expose power consumption to the terminal and CSV files
  • Provides a systemd service (daemon) to continuously monitor power of devices
  • Low overhead (written in Ada and compiled to native code)
