SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POWER PROFILING OF HARDWARE COMPONENTS OF NETWORKING DEVICES

摘要

Aspects of the present invention include telemetry measurement in a networking device. In embodiments of the present invention, fine granularity power measurement can be achieved at a component level within a networking device without additional hardware like a multi meter. Coarse level granularity of power management can also be achieved in embodiments of the present invention.

主权项

1. A power measurement system in a networking device, comprising:
a power measurement circuitry including point of load circuitry for measuring telemetry associated with a plurality of components within the networking device while the networking device is operational; a processing circuitry for processing the telemetry measured from the plurality of components; and a profiling firmware for profiling the processed telemetry measured from the plurality of components.
