One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates a synthetic workload to test power utilization in a computer system. During operation, the system monitors power utilization of a reference computer system while the reference computer system executes a workload-of interest, wherein the monitoring process produces a power profile. Next, the system determines characteristics of the workload-of-interest from the power profile. Finally, the system uses the determined characteristics to construct the synthetic workload, wherein the synthetic workload has similar power utilization to the workload-of-interest.
