Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that characterizes a response of a component in a computer system to vibrations generated by the computer system. First, the system measures the response of the component to vibrations in a frequency range while the component is located outside of the computer system. The system also measures vibrations generated by the computer system in the frequency range during operation of the computer system, wherein the vibrations are measured at a location in the computer system which is configured to receive the component. The system then characterizes the response of the component to vibrations generated by the computer system based on the measured response of the component to vibrations in the frequency range and the measured vibrations in the frequency range at the location.

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.

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.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that systematically monitors and records performance information in a computer system. During operation, the system periodically measures a number of performance parameters in the computer system. The system then stores data representing values for the measured performance parameters in a long-term storage space. Next, the system recurrently compresses data stored in the long-term storage space, thereby allowing additional data representing newly collected performance information to be stored in the long-term storage space.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that characterizes a computer system parameter by analyzing a target electromagnetic signal radiating from the computer system. First, the system monitors the target electromagnetic signal using a first directional antenna located outside of the computer system, wherein the first directional antenna is directed at a location inside the computer system. The system also monitors the target electromagnetic signal using a second directional antenna located outside of the computer system, wherein a receiving axis of the second antenna is oriented non-parallel to a receiving axis of the first antenna, and wherein the second directional antenna is directed at the location inside the computer system. Next, the system characterizes the computer system parameter based on the target electromagnetic signal received from the first antenna and the target electromagnetic signal received from the second antenna. Then, the system generates a request for an action based on the characterization of the computer system.

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.
