Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling software to interface with a power consumption telemetry system. A process may have tagging instructions that interface with an energy estimation engine. While the energy estimation engine is logging energy consumption by the process, the process may also mark, tag, or otherwise delineate periods of processing during the execution time of the process. The logic of the process may determine how such periods should be labeled and when they being and end. The tagged periods are correlated with energy consumed by the process so that details of what the process was doing during different periods of energy consumption may be understood.
