======Project: Blair power survey======

A project for HPC1 by Nicholas Sano, Matt Haas during the Fall 2011.

This project was begun on Monday September 12th 2011 at 11:50am and is anticipated to take X.
=====Objectives=====
To see if the lair is the al consuming power beast that the administration claims it to be.

=====Prerequisites=====
In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

  * Amp meter
  * conversion program or conversion table
  * NYSEG bill
  * Room with computers
  * Permission to said rooms and bill

=====Background=====
The idea of this is to see if the administration is right or wrong in how they measure our room and its power usage do to teh fact that we ahve no currently working AC unit and that the administration blames the heat in the room to non running computers


So in attempt to bring the Lair good name in question we have Strapped a Watt meter to a multi seat array to see if the power put put is greater less then or equal to with in a 25% margin of error to the other computer lab on campus with using another lab as a refernce
=====Scope=====
we are hoping for the implications to be false and be under there assumed power usage
=====Attributes=====
State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

  * attribute1: "management" because its monitoring and measuring the power usage in the room   
  * attribute2: "there will be more to add"
  * etc... 
=====Procedure=====
The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

=====Code=====
Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within <nowiki><code> </code></nowiki> blocks here.

<code c>
/*
 * hello.c - A sample "Hello, World!" program
 * 
 * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE
 *
 * compile with:
 *   gcc -o hello hello.c
 *
 * execute with:
 *   ./hello
 */

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!\n");    // Output message to STDOUT
    return(0);
}
</code>

=====Execution=====
Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:

<cli>
lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
Hello, World!
lab46:~/src/cprog$ 
</cli>

=====Reflection=====
Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?

=====References=====

  * URL1
  * URL2
  * URL3 (provides useful information on topic)
  * URL4

Generally, state where you got informative and useful information to help you accomplish this project when you originally worked on it (from Google, other wiki documents on the Lab46 wiki, etc.)
