IPMI Energy Agent

Hi there,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, the IPMI Energy Agent is currently only available on x86_64. This is something we are looking into and that we will add to both Arm Forge Professional and Arm Performance Reports in the coming months.

Best regards,

Patrick

I figured out how to install the agent

I'm using Centos7 on aarch64. I installed the following rpm packages: 

• popt popt-devel

• OpenIPMI-modalias-2.0.23-2.el7.aarch64 OpenIPMI-2.0.23-2.el7.aarch64 OpenIPMI-devel-2.0.23-2.el7.aarch64 ipmitool-1.8.18-7.el7.aarch64 OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.23-2.el7.aarch64

• ncurses-devel ncurses ncurses-lib

Then I updated the makefile to point to the location of the libraries and header files

Now i need to figure out how to use the arm tools to figure out usage based on these parameters. Suggestions? thanks

#     ipmitool sdr | grep 'Watts'
InputACpower     | 560 Watts         | ok
TotalDCpower     | 528 Watts         | ok
NodeDCpower      | 224 Watts         | ok

Ha! Now that is actually quite awesome! :)

If you have that demon up and running, please install MAP (linux user-space profiling tool for C/C++, Fortran and Python), a component of Forge. The IPMI energy agent was designed to feed MAP with node-level energy data, and based on what I read here, I expect this to run out of the box now.

Go to this page: https://developer.arm.com/products/software-development-tools/hpc/downloads/download-arm-forge

You will find there the form to request a trial licence and the links to download the product.

If you need technical assistance, do feel free to reach out here. I will do what I can to help, otherwise please contact support-hpc-sw@arm.com directly.

Hi,

We have a license. When I look at the different options, I don't see a power option for the CPU. I just see a power option for a NVIDIA GPU. Do you have any suggestions? thanks

I see. This restriction comes from the licence type you currently own. I think we should follow-up in private as this is a commercial matter rather than technical. Please send me an email at patrick.wohlschlegel@arm.com.

Hi,

I have a trial license and as expected, it did not work. Node power was not an option. 

Section 24.13 Custom metrics from the Forge user guide mentions the following document: allinea metric plugin interface. I did a quick search on the arm website and i did not find any documents or mention of it. could you point me to it?

thanks.

Hi there,

I am sorry it didn't work. It was worth a shot. You will find the documentation in the installation directory of Forge, in /path/to/forge/map/metrics/doc/allinea-metric-plugin-interface.

I hope this helps!

Patrick

I did a quick search on the arm website and i did not find any documents or mention https://filezilla.software/ https://www.ucbrowser.pro/ https://downloader.vip/rufus/of it. could you point me to it?

the information is part of the forge installation. check this directory in your linux installation
