    摘要: 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.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates vibration-resistance signatures for hard disk drives (HDDs). In this system, a set of HDDs is mechanically affixed to a disk enclosure. The system additionally includes a vibration generator which is mechanically coupled to the disk enclosure and can apply a translational vibration profile to the disk enclosure. The system further includes a coupling mechanism between the set of HDDs and the disk enclosure which translates the translational vibration profile into both translational and rotational vibrations for the set of HDDs in multiple dimensions. The system additionally includes a monitoring mechanism which monitors an HDD performance metric from the set of HDDs while the HDDs are subject to the translational and rotational vibrations. The system also includes a signature-generation mechanism which uses the monitored HDD performance metric to generate vibration-resistance signatures for the set of HDDs.

    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates a vibration profile for a rotational device in a computer system. During operation, the system sequentially sweeps a rotation speed of a rotational device over a range of rotation speeds. While driving the rotational device at each rotation speed, the system collects a time-domain vibration signal produced by the rotational device and subsequently computes a frequency spectrum of the time-domain vibration signal. In this way, the system generates a set of frequency spectra associated with the range of rotation speeds. Next, the system combines the set of frequency spectra to generate a composite vibration profile for the rotational device.
