ENERGY CONSUMPTION VISUALIZATION FOR SOFTWARE DESIGN

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for visualizing energy consumption for an architecture model of a component based software solution. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for visualizing energy consumption for an architecture model of a component based software solution is provided. The method includes selecting a deployment architecture for a solution of components in a modeling tool executing in memory of a computer and defining a deployment model of computing resources for the solution in the modeling tool. The method further includes establishing performance parameters for the components and computing power consumption for the computing resources based upon utilization and an expected utilization of the computing resources by the components for the selected deployment architecture. Finally, the method includes displaying the computed power consumption in the modeling tool.
