摘要:
Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that monitors a connection in a computer system between a connector and a component coupled to the connector. During operation, a first motion parameter of the connector, and a second motion parameter of the component are measured. Then, the connection is monitored by comparing information related to the first motion parameter and information related to the second motion parameter.

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system for scheduling spin-up operations for a set of hard disk drives (HDDs) in a computer system. During operation, the system determines an available power of the computer system. Next, one or more HDDs are selected from the set of HDDs to be spun-up based on the available power and the power required to spin up each HDD. Then, spin-up operations are scheduled for the selected HDDs.

Some embodiments provide a system that analyzes telemetry data from a monitored system. During operation, the system obtains the telemetry data as a set of telemetric signals from the monitored system and groups the telemetry data into one or more clusters of correlated telemetric signals from the telemetric signals. Next, the system increases a bandwidth associated with monitoring the telemetric signals. To increase the bandwidth, the system omits one or more of the correlated telemetric signals from each of the clusters during sampling of the telemetric signals and estimates the omitted correlated telemetric signals by applying a nonlinear, nonparametric regression technique to the sampled telemetric signals.

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that generates a simulated vibration pattern in a computer subsystem. During operation, a vibration pattern is monitored at a location in the computer subsystem, wherein the vibration pattern is monitored while the computer subsystem is incorporated into the computer system and the computer system is operating. Then, the vibrations of the computer subsystem are mimicked by generating the simulated vibration pattern at the same location in the computer subsystem based on the monitored vibration pattern.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that optimizes subset selection to facilitate parallel training of a support vector machine (SVM). During operation, the system receives a dataset comprised of data points. Next, the system evaluates the data points to produce a class separability measure, and uses the class separability measure to partition the data points in the dataset into N batches. The system then performs SVM training computations on the N batches in parallel to produce support vectors for each of the N batches. Finally, the system performs a final SVM training computation using an agglomeration of support vectors computed for each of the N batches to obtain a substantially optimal solution to the SVM training problem for the entire dataset.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that determines the complexity of a transaction between a first entity and a second entity. The system starts by determining a first probability of success for a portion of the transaction which is associated with actions of the first entity. The system then determines a second probability of success for a portion of the transaction which is associated with actions of the second entity. The system next calculates a transactional complexity for the transaction based on the first probability of success and the second probability of success.

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that schedules read operations for disk drives in a set of disk drives. During operation, the system monitors a write rate for write operations to a given disk drive in the set of disk drives, wherein vibrations generated by the read operations directed to disk drives in the set of disk drives are transmitted to the given disk drive. Then, the read operations for disk drives in the set of disk drives are scheduled based on the write rate for the given disk drive, thereby limiting interference between the write operations and the vibrations generated by the read operations.

A method for generating a service action for a computer system is described. During the method, a longevity index value for a packaging technology (such as solder joints in a BGA) in the computer system is calculated using thermal and vibration telemetry data (which is collected in the computer system) and a longevity model. This longevity model may be based on accelerated failure testing of the packaging technology, field failures of the packaging technology in a group of computer systems (which includes the computer system) and/or thermal and vibration telemetry data for the group of computer systems. Furthermore, using the longevity index value, the service action for the computer system is determined. Based on the longevity index value, remedial action (such as repairs to the computer system) may be scheduled and performed.
