Profiling energy profilers

While energy is directly consumed by hardware, it is the software that provides the instructions to do so. Energy profilers provide a means to measure the energy consumption of software, enabling the user to take measures in making software more sustainable. Although each energy profiler has access to roughly the same data, the reported measurements can differ significantly between energy profilers. In this research, energy profilers are evaluated through a series of experiments on their functionality and the accuracy of the reported measurements. The results show that there is still work to be done before these software tools can be safely used for their intended purpose. As a start, a correction factor is suggested for the energy profilers.
