+Depending on different power zones, the Intel RAPL technology allows
+one or multiple constraints like short term, long term and peak power,
+with different time windows to be applied to each power zone.
+All the zones contain attributes representing the constraint names,
+power limits and the sizes of the time windows. Note that time window
+is not applicable to peak power. Here, constraint_j_* attributes
+correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1,2).
