Function Documentation

◆ amdsmi_get_energy_count()

amdsmi_status_t amdsmi_get_energy_count	(	amdsmi_processor_handle	processor_handle,
		uint64_t *	power,
		float *	counter_resolution,
		uint64_t *	timestamp
	)

Get the energy accumulator counter of the processor with provided processor handle. It is not supported on virtual machine guest.

Given a processor handle processor_handle, a pointer to a uint64_t power, and a pointer to a uint64_t timestamp, this function will write amount of energy consumed to the uint64_t pointed to by power, and the timestamp to the uint64_t pointed to by timestamp. The amdsmi_get_power_ave() is an average of a short time. This function accumulates all energy consumed.

Parameters

[in]	processor_handle	a processor handle
[in,out]	counter_resolution	resolution of the counter power in micro Joules
[in,out]	power	a pointer to uint64_t to which the energy counter will be written If this parameter is nullptr, this function will return AMDSMI_STATUS_INVAL if the function is supported with the provided, and AMDSMI_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED if it is not supported with the provided arguments.
[in,out]	timestamp	a pointer to uint64_t to which the timestamp will be written. Resolution: 1 ns.

Returns

amdsmi_status_t | AMDSMI_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, non-zero on fail
