+The first step was to implement tools to collect the data about individual machine power consumption and load : Python scripts, running every 5 minutes are used for these acquisition . A prototype based on 32 machines is actually operational, while 300 are planned
+
+The collected data are then stored in a unique SQL database allowing easy and diverse selections
+
+Finally, visualization tools allowing correlations between these series are being developed .
