摘要:
An electronic system includes an accelerometer. A method for excessive mechanical shock feature extraction for overstress event registration and cumulative tracking includes obtaining a sample from the accelerometer. Feature extraction is performed on the sample using empirical mode decomposition (EMD) to produce a plurality of modes. A pattern classifier is utilized for processing the plurality of modes to determine if the sample classifies as a shock event. If the sample classifies as a shock event, a shock event counter is incremented. If the shock event counter reaches a specified count, an indication to a user is generated.

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that controls a device that characterizes the health of a computer system power supply. During operation, a signature for the power supply is generated based on measurements of a set of performance parameters for the power supply. Then, the health of the power supply is characterized based on a comparison between the signature for the power supply and signatures for one or more other power supplies.

Embodiments of a system for regulating an efficiency of a power supply in a computer system are described. During operation, the system measures an output load of the power supply using one or more telemetry monitors in the computer system. Then, the system determines if an efficiency of the power supply corresponding to the measured output load is within a predetermined range that includes an optimal efficiency of the power supply. If the efficiency is outside of the predetermined range, the system performs remedial action so that the power supply operates at an adjusted efficiency that falls within the predetermined range.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates high-sensitivity detection of an anomaly in telemetry data from an electronic system using a telemetric impulsional response fingerprint of the telemetry data. During operation, the system applies a sudden impulse step change to one or more operational parameters of the electronic system during operation. Next, the system generates a three-dimensional (3D) telemetric impulsional response fingerprint (TIRF) surface from a dynamic response in the telemetry data to the sudden impulse step change. The system then determines from the 3D TIRF surface whether the telemetry data contains an anomaly.
摘要:
A system that reduces the size of a design data set. During this design data set reduction operation, the system computes a decision boundary which separates a first group of data patterns in a training data set from a second group of data patterns in the training data set. For each data pattern in the training data set, the system determines if removing the data pattern from the training data set substantially affects the resulting decision boundary. If so, the system marks the data pattern as a key pattern. The system then removes all data patterns that are not marked as key patterns to produce a reduced training data set which represents the decision boundary.
