Can't run intel power gadget First time posting here. I'm trying to monitor my CPU activity with the Intel power-gadget tool, that can be found on Intel's web site. As the Readme file said, I execute the following lines make ./power_gadget -e 1000 -d 10 I obtain the following error : > RAPL not supported, or machine model 406e3 not recognized. Init failed! Googling my issue didn't bring me any answer. Any clue about the reason of this issue ? The CPU I am using (Skylake i7-6600U @2.60GHz) should be supported right ?

Yes, your CPU supports the required RAPL features.

The power gadget doesn't support your CPU though: the RAPL initialisation code is table-driven, and it doesn't know about Skylake CPUs (or even Broadwell). It only knows about Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell (and even then, not all Haswell CPUs)...
