Abstract
For measuring component utilization in a computing system, a server energy utilization reading of a statistical significant number of servers out of a total number of servers located in the datacenter is obtained by measuring, at predetermined intervals, a collective energy consumed by all processing components within each server. The collective energy is measured by virtually probing thereby monitoring an energy consumption of individual ones of all the processing components to each collect an individual energy utilization reading, where the individual energy utilization reading is aggregated over a predetermined time period to collect an energy consumption pattern associated with the server utilization reading.
