Device power by utilization

[lfwa]

Devices with background processes are added to total energy and power consumption.

Measurements should be taken of the current processes utilization on the devices and power should be assigned based on these percentage instead of just measuring the total power consumption. The total consumption unfairly penalises background processes on e.g. clusters.

Hello @lfwa - have you folks experimented with using the per process CPU consumption yet? At least on Linux, we can do so using this technique: https://www.anshulpatel.in/posts/linux_cpu_percentage/
