Nonetheless, we found a number of limitations that could not satisfy our requirements e.g. stalling the processing of log events until a dump is complete, missing ability to trigger dumps on demand, or implementations that block write traffic by using table locks. Blocking write traffic by locking tables. Writing events to any output.

At the instance level, many CPU and system architectures have direct access to power consumption metrics. Clock rates also change, some ARM architectures include a mixture of high performance and low power cores in the same CPU, and Intel architecture CPUs have hyperthreading, so the performance of an execution thread will vary over time.
