The project was aimed at identifying the potential possibility of profiling energy consumption by HPC applications performed on the cluster to assess energy demands for the application functions and the MPI library functions. The project was implemented using the Intel VTune™ Amplifier XE 2013 tool, which allowed collecting energy consumption at the single functions level. The conducted studies resulted in the receipt of the profiles for the HPC applications (LAMMPS, NAMD, GAMESS, GROMACS, OpenFOAM) and identification of the functions with the biggest energy consumption.
