Re: [PLUG] calculating cost of a process

It may be worthwhile to evaluate the power usage of the CPUs as well. If you can give energy numbers, then a $ per process may be easier to calculate.

Intel has some interesting stuff for that.

So I'm tasked with determining the monetary cost of each execution run of a process on a Win2008R2 box, so management can go to investors and say "Our method costs XX cents per file".

My guess at one way to do this is:

(cost of server)+(fractional cost of colo resources)

time the process takes

I know how I'd time a process on Linux (using "time"), but does anyone have a suggestion for a Windows equivalent?

Use Powershell.
