Electron: A power budget manager
======================================

To Do:

 * Create metrics for each task launched [Time to schedule, run time, power used]
 * Have calibration phase?
 * Add ability to use constraints
 * Running average calculations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average



**Requires Performance-Copilot tool pmdumptext to be installed on the
machine on which electron is launched for logging to work**



How to run (Use the --help option to get information about other command-line options):

`./electron -workload <workload.json> -ignoreWatts <true or false>`


Workload schema:
