    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a technique for training a prognostic pattern-recognition system to detect incipient anomalies that arise during execution of a computer system. During operation, the system gathers and stores telemetry data obtained from n sensors in the computer system during operation of the computer system. Next, the system uses the telemetry data gathered from the n sensors to train a baseline model for the prognostic pattern-recognition system. The prognostic pattern-recognition system then uses the baseline model in a surveillance mode to detect incipient anomalies that arise during execution of the computer system. The system also uses the stored telemetry data to train a set of additional models, wherein each additional model is trained to operate with one or more missing sensors. Finally, the system stores the additional models to be used in place of the baseline model when one or more sensors fail in the computer system.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that controls cooling in a computer system. During operation, this system monitors a temperature of one or more components in the computer system. Next, the system determines a thermal-headroom margin for each of the one or more components in the computer system by subtracting the temperature of the component from a pre-specified maximum operating temperature of the component. Then, the system controls a cooling system that regulates an ambient air temperature for the computer system based on the determined thermal-headroom margins for the one or more components. In some embodiments, controlling the cooling system additionally involves minimizing a collective energy consumption of the computer system and the cooling system.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that characterizes I/O performance of a computing device in terms of energy consumption across a range of vibrational operating environments. During operation, the system executes a test script on a computing device that is affixed to a programmable vibration table, wherein the test script causes the computing device to perform a predetermined I/O workload. While the test script is executing, the system controls the programmable vibration table to subject the computing device to different vibrational operating environments. At the same time, the system obtains test results by monitoring a progress of the test script and an associated power consumption of the computing device. Finally, the system uses the obtained test results to characterize the I/O performance of the computing device in terms of energy consumption across the range of vibrational operating environments.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system for validating a prognostic-surveillance mechanism, which detects anomalies that arise during operation of a computer system. During operation, the system obtains telemetry data comprising a set of raw signals gathered from sensors in the computer system during operation of the computer system, wherein the telemetry signals are gathered over a monitored time period. Next, for each raw signal in the set of raw signals, the system decomposes the raw signal into deterministic and stochastic components. The system then generates a corresponding set of synthesized signals based on the deterministic and stochastic components of the raw signals, wherein the synthesized signals are generated for a simulated time period, which is longer than the monitored time period. Finally, the system uses the set of synthesized signals to validate one or more performance metrics of the prognostic-surveillance mechanism.
