Abstract
The embodiments provide an assigned counter of a first set of counters and stores a value for an activity of a set of activities forming a set of stored values. The value comprises the count multiplied by a weight factor specific to the activity. A power manager manages the first set of counters, receives a set of activities to be monitored for a unit, groups the portion into subsets based on at least one of a frequency of occurrence of each activity and power consumption for each activity, sums the stored values corresponding to each activity in each subset to reach a total value for each subset, multiplies the total value of each subset by factor corresponding to the subset to form a scaled value for each subset, and sums the scaled value of each subset to form a power usage value.
