    摘要: Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that measures a power efficiency of a computer system. During operation, the system collects telemetry data from a set of sensors within the computer system. Next, the system determines a power consumption of the computer system from the telemetry data and determines a number of input/output operations per second (IOPS) for the computer system from the telemetry data. Finally, the system computes an IOPS per watt metric from the power consumption and the number of IOPS.

    摘要: A system that controls one or more operating parameters in a computer system is presented. Until specified values for one or more operating parameters are achieved, the system performs the following operations. The system operates the computer system using a specified load profile. The system then determines whether the specified load profile produces the specified values for the one or more operating parameters. If the specified load profile does not produce the specified values for the one or more operating parameters, the system adjusts the specified load profile, which involves using a pulse-width modulation technique to adjust a duty cycle between a first workload and a second workload.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that estimates residual life of a software system under a software-based failure mechanism. During operation, the system first constructs a prognostic database for the software-based failure mechanism based on a plurality of software systems of the same type as the software system, wherein the prognostic database includes a set of prognostic readings associated with the software-based failure mechanism from the plurality of software systems. Note that a given prognostic reading in the prognostic database comprises: (1) a symptom index, which is a function of one or more variables associated with the software-based failure mechanism; and (2) a residual life, which is the remaining time to a failure under the software-based failure mechanism. Next, the system obtains a symptom index value from the software system which is being monitored. The system then estimates a residual life for the software system under the software-based failure mechanism by comparing the symptom index value with the prognostic readings in the prognostic database.

    摘要: A system that monitors telemetry from a host computer system to detect degradation in a remote storage device. During operation, the system monitors performance parameters from a host computer system which accesses the remote storage device, wherein the performance parameters relate to the interactions between the host computer system and the remote storage device. The system then determines whether the monitored performance parameters have deviated from predicted values for the performance parameters. If so, the system generates a signal indicating that the remote storage device has degraded.

    摘要: A system (100) for campaign planning includes a memory (106) operable to store at least two slab values (132) for each of a plurality of slabs (108). The slab values (132) for a slab are associated with at least two properties of the slab (108). The memory (106) is also operable to store at least one preference value (142) identifying a relative importance between the properties of the slabs (108). The system (100) also includes one or more processors (128) collectively operable to generate a sort value (400) for each of the slabs (108). The sort value (400) depends at least partially on the slab value (132) associated with the slab (108) and the preference value (142). The processor (128) is also operable to allocate the slabs (108) to a plurality of rounds (200) in a campaign (250). The slabs (108) are allocated in an order depending at least partially on the sort values (400) associated with the slabs (108).
