NAME

       rapl-info - get RAPL configurations

SYNPOSIS

       rapl-info [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       This utility is deprecated, use powercap-info(1) instead.

       Prints out Intel Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) configurations.

       Note that the -p and -z options are different from powercap-info(1).

       This  software  requires  an Intel processor (Sandy Bridge or newer), Linux kernel 3.13 or newer compiled
       with CONFIG_POWERCAP and CONFIG_INTEL_RAPL enabled, and the intel_rapl kernel module to be loaded.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Prints out the help screen

       -v, --verbose
              Print errors when files are not available

       -p, --zone=ZONE
              The zone number (none by default; 0 by default  if  using  -z/--subzone  and/or  -c/--constraint).
              Ending with a colon prevents output for subzones.  E.g., for zone 0, but not subzones:
              -p 0:

       -p, --package=PACKAGE
              Deprecated, use --zone instead

       -z, --subzone=SUBZONE
              The subzone number (none by default)

       -c, --constraint=CONSTRAINT
              The constraint number (none by default)

       All remaining options below are mutually exclusive:

       -n, --nzones
              Print the number of zones found, or the number of subzones found if -p/--zone is set

       The following are zone-level arguments (-z/--subzone is optional):

       -j, --z-energy
              Print zone energy counter

       -J, --z-max-energy-range
              Print zone maximum energy counter range

       -w, --z-power
              Print zone current power

       -W, --z-max-power-range
              Print zone maximum current power range

       -e, --z-enabled
              Print zone enable/disabled status

       -x, --z-name
              Print zone name

       The following are constraint-level arguments and require -c/--constraint (-z/--subzone is optional):

       -l, --c-power-limit
              Print constraint power limit

       -s, --c-time-window
              Print constraint time window

       -U, --c-max-power
              Print constraint maximum allowed power

       -u, --c-min-power
              Print constraint minimum allowed power

       -T, --c-max-time-window
              Print constraint maximum allowed time window

       -t, --c-min-time-window
              Print constraint minimum allowed time window

       -y, --c-name
              Print constraint name

EXAMPLES

       Note  that  -p/--zone=0  is  used  by  default  when also specifying -z/--subzone and/or -c/--constraint,
       allowing for simpler commands on single-socket systems.

       rapl-info
              Print all RAPL zones.

       rapl-info -p 0
              Print only zone 0, which is usually named package-0.

       rapl-info -p 0 -z 1
              Print zone 0, subzone 1, which is usually the uncore or dram subzone of  package-0,  depending  on
              the system.

       rapl-info -p 0 -c 1
              Print zone 0, constraint 1, which is usually the short_term constraint for package-0.

       rapl-info -p 0 -j
              Print the energy counter for zone 0, which is usually named package-0.

       rapl-info -p 1 -z 0 -c 0 -l
              Print  the  power  limit  for  zone  1,  subzone  0,  constraint 0, which is usually the long_term
              constraint for the core subzone of package-1 (a multi-socket system).

REMARKS

       Some fields are optional and will only be printed if they are available unless -v/--verbose is set.
       If no zone/constraint-specific outputs are requested, all available zones and constraints will be shown.

       Energy units: microjoules (uJ)
       Power units: microwatts (uW)
       Time units: microseconds (us)

BUGS

       The following are behavioral quirks due to the kernel interface or abnormalities in some hardware.   They
       are not bugs in rapl-info and should not be reported as such.

       Values  returned  by  the  kernel sometimes lose accuracy from the actual values stored in Model-Specific
       Registers due to integer rounding.  For example, the kernel may return a time window value  of  7812  us,
       when  in  fact  the actual stored value is 7812.5 us.  Writing back a value returned by the kernel, e.g.,
       using rapl-set(1), may cause unexpected changes to its value due to these rounding problems.

       At the time of this writing, some features in the powercap interface are  not  supported  by  RAPL.   The
       following options may result in ENOENT (No such file or directory) errors:
         -w/--z-power
         -W/--z-max-power-range
         -u/--c-min-power
         -T/--c-max-time-window
         -t/--c-min-time-window

       On  some  systems, the constraint max_power_uw file, e.g., constraint_0_max_power_uw, is known to receive
       an ENODATA (No data available) error from the kernel for subzones.  So even though  the  file  exists,  a
       value may not be printed for it.

       It  is  possible  for  packages  on  multi-socket  systems to be indexed out of order by the kernel.  For
       example, the package at index 0 (-p 0) could actually be named package-1 while the package at index 1 (-p
       1) is named package-0.
