On a system with course grain resolution of energy unit (milli J) the accumulation thread can be executed less frequently than on the system with fine grain resolution(micro J). This patch sets the accumulation thread interval to an optimum value calculated based on the (energy unit) resolution supported by the hardware (assuming a peak wattage of 240W).
