Energy reporting

Our energy reporting activity includes remote monitoring of both energy use and associated gaming performance (e.g., frame rates). We capitalized on the fact that many GPCs are pre-equipped with a number of sensors that report power, temperature, and other metrics of interest to users. We demonstrated power management monitoring and feedback across ~100 in-use high-performance PCs with actual users.
