.SH DESCRIPTION
tools/power turbostat: v3.0: monitor Watts and Temperature
Show power in Watts and temperature in Celsius
when hardware support is present.
Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processor generations support RAPL
(Run-Time-Average-Power-Limiting). Per the Intel SDM
(Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manual)
RAPL provides hardware energy counters and power control MSRs
(Model Specific Registers). RAPL MSRs are designed primarily
as a method to implement power capping. However, they are useful
for monitoring system power whether or not power capping is used.
In addition, Turbostat now shows temperature from DTS
(Digital Thermal Sensor) and PTM (Package Thermal Monitor) hardware,
if present.
As before, turbostat reads MSRs, and never writes MSRs.
New columns are present in turbostat output:
The Pkg_W column shows Watts for each package (socket) in the system.
On multi-socket systems, the system summary on the 1st row shows the sum
for all sockets together.
The Cor_W column shows Watts due to processors cores.
Note that Core_W is included in Pkg_W.
The optional GFX_W column shows Watts due to the graphics "un-core".
Note that GFX_W is included in Pkg_W.
The optional RAM_W column on server processors shows Watts due to DRAM DIMMS.
As DRAM DIMMs are outside the processor package, RAM_W is not included in Pkg_W.
The optional PKG_% and RAM_% columns on server processors shows the % of time
in the measurement interval that RAPL power limiting is in effect on the
package and on DRAM.
Note that the RAPL energy counters have some limitations.
First, hardware updates the counters about once every milli-second.
This is fine for typical turbostat measurement intervals > 1 sec.
However, when turbostat is used to measure events that approach
1ms, the counters are less useful.
Second, the 32-bit energy counters are subject to wrapping.
For example, a counter incrementing 15 micro-Joule units
on a 130 Watt TDP server processor could (in theory)
roll over in about 9 minutes. Turbostat detects and handles
up to 1 counter overflow per measurement interval.
But when the measurement interval exceeds the guaranteed
counter range, we can't detect if more than 1 overflow occured.
So in this case turbostat indicates that the results are
in question by replacing the fractional part of the Watts
in the output with "**":
Pkg_W Cor_W GFX_W
3** 0** 0**
Third, the RAPL counters are energy (Joule) counters -- they sum up
weighted events in the package to estimate energy consumed. They are
not analong power (Watt) meters. In practice, they tend to under-count
because they don't cover every possible use of energy in the package.
The accuracy of the RAPL counters will vary between product generations,
and between SKU's in the same product generation, and with temperature.
turbostat's -v (verbose) option now displays more power and thermal configuration
information -- as shown on the turbostat.8 manual page.
For example, it now displays the Package and DRAM Thermal Design Power (TDP):
cpu0: MSR_PKG_POWER_INFO: 0x2f064001980410 (130 W TDP, RAPL 51 - 200 W, 0.045898 sec.)

\fB turbostat \fP reports processor topology, frequency,
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
idle power-state statistics, temperature and power on X86 processors.
There are two ways to invoke turbostat.
The first method is to supply a
\fB command\fP , which is forked and statistics are printed
upon its completion.
The second method is to omit the command,
2015-02-10 14:56:38 +08:00
and turbostat displays statistics every 5 seconds.
The 5-second interval can be changed using the --interval option.

\fB --Counter MSR#\fP shows the delta of the specified 64-bit MSR counter.
tools/power: turbostat v2 - re-write for efficiency
Measuring large profoundly-idle configurations
requires turbostat to be more lightweight.
Otherwise, the operation of turbostat itself
can interfere with the measurements.
This re-write makes turbostat topology aware.
Hardware is accessed in "topology order".
Redundant hardware accesses are deleted.
Redundant output is deleted.
Also, output is buffered and
local RDTSC use replaces remote MSR access for TSC.
From a feature point of view, the output
looks different since redundant figures are absent.
Also, there are now -c and -p options -- to restrict
output to the 1st thread in each core, and the 1st
thread in each package, respectively. This is helpful
to reduce output on big systems, where more detail
than the "-s" system summary is desired.
Finally, periodic mode output is now on stdout, not stderr.
Turbostat v2 is also slightly more robust in
handling run-time CPU online/offline events,
as it now checks the actual map of on-line cpus rather
than just the total number of on-line cpus.

(Run-Time-Average-Power-Limiting). Per the Intel SDM
(Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manual)
RAPL provides hardware energy counters and power control MSRs
(Model Specific Registers). RAPL MSRs are designed primarily
as a method to implement power capping. However, they are useful
for monitoring system power whether or not power capping is used.
In addition, Turbostat now shows temperature from DTS
(Digital Thermal Sensor) and PTM (Package Thermal Monitor) hardware,
if present.
As before, turbostat reads MSRs, and never writes MSRs.
New columns are present in turbostat output:
The Pkg_W column shows Watts for each package (socket) in the system.
On multi-socket systems, the system summary on the 1st row shows the sum
for all sockets together.
The Cor_W column shows Watts due to processors cores.
Note that Core_W is included in Pkg_W.
The optional GFX_W column shows Watts due to the graphics "un-core".
Note that GFX_W is included in Pkg_W.
The optional RAM_W column on server processors shows Watts due to DRAM DIMMS.
As DRAM DIMMs are outside the processor package, RAM_W is not included in Pkg_W.
The optional PKG_% and RAM_% columns on server processors shows the % of time
in the measurement interval that RAPL power limiting is in effect on the
package and on DRAM.
Note that the RAPL energy counters have some limitations.
First, hardware updates the counters about once every milli-second.
This is fine for typical turbostat measurement intervals > 1 sec.
However, when turbostat is used to measure events that approach
1ms, the counters are less useful.
Second, the 32-bit energy counters are subject to wrapping.
For example, a counter incrementing 15 micro-Joule units
on a 130 Watt TDP server processor could (in theory)
roll over in about 9 minutes. Turbostat detects and handles
up to 1 counter overflow per measurement interval.
But when the measurement interval exceeds the guaranteed
counter range, we can't detect if more than 1 overflow occured.
So in this case turbostat indicates that the results are
in question by replacing the fractional part of the Watts
in the output with "**":
Pkg_W Cor_W GFX_W
3** 0** 0**
Third, the RAPL counters are energy (Joule) counters -- they sum up
weighted events in the package to estimate energy consumed. They are
not analong power (Watt) meters. In practice, they tend to under-count
because they don't cover every possible use of energy in the package.
The accuracy of the RAPL counters will vary between product generations,
and between SKU's in the same product generation, and with temperature.
turbostat's -v (verbose) option now displays more power and thermal configuration
information -- as shown on the turbostat.8 manual page.
For example, it now displays the Package and DRAM Thermal Design Power (TDP):

2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
should be sustainable on all CPUs indefinitely, given nominal power and cooling.

If turbostat is invoked with a command, it will fork that command
2016-02-14 12:36:17 +08:00
and output the statistics gathered after the command exits.

Above the cycle soaker drives cpu5 up its 3.9 GHz turbo limit.
2016-02-14 12:41:53 +08:00
The first row shows the average MHz and Busy% across all the processors in the system.
2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
2014-02-06 13:55:19 +08:00
Note that the Avg_MHz column reflects the total number of cycles executed
2016-02-14 12:41:53 +08:00
divided by the measurement interval. If the Busy% column is 100%,
2014-02-06 13:55:19 +08:00
then the processor was running at that speed the entire interval.
2016-02-14 12:41:53 +08:00
The Avg_MHz multiplied by the Busy% results in the Bzy_MHz --
2014-02-06 13:55:19 +08:00
which is the average frequency while the processor was executing --
not including any non-busy idle time.
2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
.SH NOTES
.B "turbostat "
must be run as root.
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
Alternatively, non-root users can be enabled to run turbostat this way:
# setcap cap_sys_rawio=ep ./turbostat
# chmod +r /dev/cpu/*/msr
2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
.B "turbostat "
reads hardware counters, but doesn't write them.
So it will not interfere with the OS or other programs, including
multiple invocations of itself.
\fB turbostat \fP
may work poorly on Linux-2.6.20 through 2.6.29,
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
as \fB acpi-cpufreq \fP periodically cleared the APERF and MPERF MSRs
2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
in those kernels.
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
AVG_MHz = APERF_delta/measurement_interval. This is the actual
number of elapsed cycles divided by the entire sample interval --
2015-02-10 14:56:38 +08:00
including idle time. Note that this calculation is resilient
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
to systems lacking a non-stop TSC.
TSC_MHz = TSC_delta/measurement_interval.
On a system with an invariant TSC, this value will be constant
and will closely match the base frequency value shown
in the brand string in /proc/cpuinfo. On a system where
the TSC stops in idle, TSC_MHz will drop
below the processor's base frequency.
2016-02-14 12:41:53 +08:00
Busy% = MPERF_delta/TSC_delta
2015-01-23 14:33:58 +08:00
Bzy_MHz = TSC_delta/APERF_delta/MPERF_delta/measurement_interval
Note that these calculations depend on TSC_delta, so they
are not reliable during intervals when TSC_MHz is not running at the base frequency.
Turbostat data collection is not atomic.
Extremely short measurement intervals (much less than 1 second),
or system activity that prevents turbostat from being able
to run on all CPUS to quickly collect data, will result in
inconsistent results.
2012-09-22 11:45:46 +08:00
2010-10-23 11:53:03 +08:00
The APERF, MPERF MSRs are defined to count non-halted cycles.
Although it is not guaranteed by the architecture, turbostat assumes
that they count at TSC rate, which is true on all processors tested to date.
