Advanced framework for Displaying Power, Performance and Thermal Data for Intel CPU DFX

Abstract

Computers are gadget in mundane life working pattern. Probably everyone can use computers because integration of hardware and Operating System is already done by the merchant companies. OS helps Application Program to execute itself by providing APIs and libraries needed. Background processes are helping OS for continuous execution. These background processes and application program use CPU. To understand the Inside computer, System architecture is used. Parts of Computer architecture can be modulated in Processor, bus system, memory, Input/Output. All this things might be implemented on one SoC(System on chip). With the help of better integration Framework it is possible to analyze what is going on inside the System and could be possible to configure the system. A framework in computer programming is an abstraction in which common code generic functionality that can be selectively overridden. This framework is use for configuring IPs in System Architecture. It can be used for enabling and disabling IPs and for analyzing behavior of the IPs. As a first part of the project, the framework is used exploration of GbE(Giga bit Ethernet) Enabling. GbE is PCIe(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) device which is slot for connection to the SoC and advanced version of PCI slots(Peripheral Component Interconnect). These slots are used for connection of GbE device and enabling it for stress testing, to check the connectivity PCIe Loopback test is used which can be applied on OSI Models Data link layer (Link Layer) and Physical layer (PHY Layer). As this framework is used for enabling device for stress, it is also used for monitoring of that devices effect of processor. And that is the second phase of the project Advanced framework for Displaying Power, Performance and Thermal Data for Intel CPU DFX is about a Windows GUI Program for displaying performance value of Host system with the use of advanced framework. GUI application implemented from this framework work as a Performance Monitoring tool for System architecture.
