This is a component that exports power information for Intel Xeon Phi cards (MIC).
The component makes use of the MicAccessAPI distributed with the Intel Manycore Platform Software Stack.
(http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-manycore-platform-software-stack-mpss)
Specifically in the intel-mic-sysmgmt package.
A configure script allows for non-default locations for the sysmgmt sdk. see ./configure --help
About the data, PAPI retrieves the data via the MicGetPowerUsage call.
Per the SDK documentation:
MicGetPowerUsage - Retrieve power usage values of Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor and components.
