MEASURING ENERGY CONSUMPTION USING REMOTE LAB

The Remote Eco Lab project aims to provide a streamlined process for measuring software energy consumption remotely using a CI/CD pipeline. By automating the measurement process and integrating with the OSCAR tool, developers can make informed decisions to improve code efficiency and work towards software eco-certification

Timeline

Week 1 and Week 2

During the community bonding period, we set up a communication channel (https://matrix.to/#/#kde-eco-dev:kde.org) to foster open collaboration and maintain a public record of discussions. This also helped for other people to get involved in the project. Also we set up a regular internal meetups (ie on Thursdays every week) and discussed about the project to the community in the monthly meetup. During the week 1 and week 2, with the help of mentors we were able to set up the infrastructure involving setting up ssh keys, rasberry pi1, lab test PC etc. I worked upon configuring the X server on the lab test PC to run the gui application. In this week, I started working on the installing flatpak stage of the CI Pipeline as well. I also wrote a blog post to show my project to the larger community of KDE and helping them to get involved as well.
