Q:

What is the buffer size in the energyAware Profiler?

 

A:

The profiler uses the PCs main memory to buffer the samples, so this depends on the computer.

Each sample takes 40 bytes, so with a sampling period of 10ms for instance, 4KB are needed each second. With 1GB of memory in the PC the profiler can sample for 72h.
