    摘要: Embodiments of a computer system that includes a vibration-cancelling mode, and a related method and computer-program product (e.g., software) for use with the computer system, are described. During operation, a processor monitors operations in the computer system, and may select either the vibration-cancelling mode or an inactive mode based on the monitored operations. For example, the processor may select the vibration-cancelling mode when there are input/output-(I/O) intensive workloads to an array of one or more hard disk drives (HDDs) in the computer system. In this way, the processor may reduce the energy consumption associated with vibration-induced retries to the HDDs (and reduced I/O throughput) without increasing the energy consumption associated with active vibration damping at other times, such as when the computer system is idle or during processor-intensive workloads.

    摘要: A system that mitigates quantization effects in quantized telemetry signals. During operation, the system monitors a set of quantized telemetry signals. For a given quantized telemetry signal in the set of quantized telemetry signals, the system uses a set of models to generate a set of estimates for the given quantized telemetry signal from the other monitored quantized telemetry signals, wherein each model in the set of models was initialized using a different randomly selected subset of a training dataset. The system then averages the set of estimates to produce an estimated signal for the given quantized telemetry signal.

During operation, the device is vibrated at each frequency in a set of frequencies in the frequency range, wherein the device is vibrated at each frequency, one frequency at a time, until a stabilized response of the device is determined. The response of the device to vibration over the frequency range is then characterized based on information related to the stabilized response at each frequency in the set of frequencies.

    摘要: A computer system to predict a value of a signal from a sensor schedule loads across a set of processor cores is described. During operation, the computer system generates N models to predict the value of the signal based on a set of quantized telemetry signals, where a given model produces a value of the signal using a subset of the set of quantized telemetry signals, and where the subset is selected from the set of quantized telemetry signals based on an objective criterion. Next, the computer system predicts the value of the signal by aggregating the values produced by the N models.
