Replace Intel Power Gadget on Windows #37

Closed adelnoureddine closed 4 months ago

adelnoureddine commented 10 months ago

Intel Power Gadget will be removed by Intel on December 1st 2023 (ref). Intel recommends using Intel Performance Counter Monitor (Intel PCM) instead. They offer documentation for compiling and installing on Windows.

Possible solutions:

Explore Intel PCM and its integration into JoularJX
Explore alternative options, such as the Windows RAPL driver by Hubblo.

Hubblo's Windows RAPL driver seems the most promising so far. We'll explore integrating it instead of IPG and have a working beta version with JoularJX soon.

adelnoureddine commented 5 months ago

We have a first beta version using Hubblo's Windows RAPL driver in the hubblo-driver-windows branch.

Please test it !

In detail:

we replaced Intel Power Gadget with Hubblo's windows RAPL driver (which needs to be installed first)
PowerMonitor program uses the new driver, but works as before (provides power data every second)
Like RAPL in Linux, we check for PSYS to use, and if not supported, we use PKG domain (+ DRAM domain if supported)
