Jolinar: Analysing the Energy Footprint of Software Applications (demo)

Monitoring energy consumption of applications is crucial for
energy optimisation and improvements in software systems.
With the recent emphasis on energy efficiency, it is vital
that software engineers have an understanding of the energy
consumed by the code they write. In this paper, we present
Jolinar, a tool that bridges the gap between energy measurements
and accessibility to software engineers and even
end-users. The tool builds on top of recent energy models to
provide an accurate, light and easy-to-use interface for energy
measurements. The target audience of Jolinar is both
software engineers and non-technical end-users who want to
monitor their applications’ energy footprint. We show that
end-users can use Jolinar’s GUI to determine the energy
consumed by the software they are using, and software engineers
can use the tool to analyse energy consumption of
systems to make energy-conscious decisions.
