It is designed as a lightweight, configurable framework, which can be used in conjunction with built-in power-capping policies to reduce the peak power and/or energy usage of co-scheduled tasks. However, in addition to being a scheduler, Elektron also takes advantage of tools such as [Performance Co-Pilot](http://pcp.io/) and [RAPL](https://01.org/blogs/2014/running-average-power-limit--rapl) to help contain the power envelope within defined thresholds, reduce peak power consumption, and also reduce total energy consumption. Elektron is able to leverage the Mesos-provided resource abstraction to allow different algorithms to decide how to consume resource offers made by a Mesos Master.
