The PPU software transmits the following information to the utility meter:

  • System identification:

    • Serial number

    • Product number

    • System identifier

    • System Unique ID

    • OS Information

  • System configuration:

    • Number and type of partitions

    • Cores in partitions

  • System state:

    • Core state

    • Core usage

    • HPVM guest usage, if any
