Abstract: A model-based approach to determining an optimal configuration for a data center may use an environmental chamber to characterize the performance of various data center configurations at different combinations of temperature and altitude. Telemetry data may be recorded from different configurations as they execute a stress workload at each temperature/altitude combination, and the telemetry data may be used to train a corresponding library of models. When a new data center is being configured, the temperature/altitude of the new data center may be used to select a pre-trained model from a similar temperature/altitude. Performance of the current configuration can be compared to the performance of the model, and if the model performs better, a new configuration based on the model may be used as an optimal configuration for the data center.

Abstract: A concentric ring electrode (CRE) is provided that can sense characteristics of an electric potential, such as its Laplacian, more accurately than previous systems. The disclosed system and methods can optimize estimates of the Laplacian based on potentials measured by the CRE's electrodes, and can optimize the geometry of the CRE, in particular the ring electrodes' radii. Given the CRE's geometrical configuration, the system estimates the Laplacian's dependence on the measured potentials by computing a null space of a matrix associated with a series expansion of the potential. The system determines coefficients for the dependence, wherein a first coefficient is between ?10 and 10 times, or between ?6.5 and ?7.5 times, a second coefficient. The system can optimize ranges for the radii by canceling at least one truncation term of the series expansion, estimating a higher-order truncation term as a function of the radii, and minimizing this estimated function.
