  text: Profiling applications on a heterogeneous compute node is challenging since
    the way to retrieve data from the resources and interpret them varies between
    resource types and manufacturers. This holds especially true for measuring the
    energy consumption. In this paper we present Ampehre, a novel open source measurement
    framework that allows developers to gather comparable measurements from heterogeneous
    compute nodes, e.g., nodes comprising CPU, GPU, and FPGA. We explain the architecture
    of Ampehre and detail the measurement process on the example of energy measurements
    on CPU and GPU. To characterize the probing effect, we quantitatively analyze
    the trade-off between the accuracy of measurements and the CPU load imposed by
    Ampehre. Based on this analysis, we are able to specify reasonable combinations
    of sampling periods for the different resource types of a compute node.
