Research = Rainbow Bright?

Analyzing data is not the photographic "fun" side of research--at least on the outside. Chugging away at imputing the new gpu-aware data in an excel sheet can be a little mind numbing. 10 variables (Watts, Disk Utilization, GPU Temperature, GPU Fan Speed, Utilization GPU, Utilization Memory, CPU0, CPU1, CPU2, CPU3) requiring 7 calculations (Min, 1st quartile, Median, Mean, 3rd quartile, Max) each for 12 freq PER excel sheet (6 total). Math makes these moments hurt more because they feel like they'll take forever.

Looking at the graphs the data plots though, like this:


Makes you wonder what the heck is going on with this workload!
