TITLE: Hardware Sensors Monitoring with PAPI

ABSTRACT
Modern computer hardware have sensors to monitor the health and status of different computer components. Most of these sensors can be read and monitored, if you know how to do it. But, even if you can read them, you still need to know how to properly interpret (massage) the information just read. In this presentation, I will talk about the details of the work I did to enable the PAPI framework to conveniently access these sensors. I will also show results of some thermal profiling with the goal of understanding better how the computer resources are being used, and particularly, how are we using power.
