+  DRAMPower is an open source tool for fast and accurate DRAM power
+and energy estimation for DRAM memories. The latest version of
+the tool is v4.0 and features many important improvements, such as
+significantly improved analysis speed (at least 10x), enabling
+analysis of much larger traces, as well as support for DDR2/DDR3,
+LPDDR/LPDDR2, DDR4 and Wide I/O memories. The tool is based on the
+DRAM power model developed jointly by the Computer Engineering
+Research Group at TU Delft and the Electronic Systems Group at
+TU Eindhoven and has been verified by the Microelectronic System
+Design Research Group at TU Kaiserslautern with equivalent
+circuit-level simulations, which established that the error of
+the tool to be < 2% for all memory operations of any granularity
+for all memories supported by DRAMPower. DRAMPower is also part
+of the computer architecture simulator gem5.
+
+
+  Invocation example:
+  # drampower -m /usr/share/DRAMPower-4.1/memspecs/MICRON_1Gb_DDR3-\
+1066_8bit_G.xml -c /usr/share/DRAMPower-4.1/traces/commands.trace
+
+  Examples of using the library are located at:
+  # /usr/share/DRAMPower-4.1/examples/libdrampowertest
+
+  You can copy them to a working dir and then run "make test" for 
+testing, as following:
+  # cp -av /usr/share/DRAMPower-4.1/examples/libdrampowertest .
+  # cd libdrampowertest
+  # make test
