Abstract: A computer-implemented method facilitates receiving, by a computing system, one or more parameters that specify attributes associated with a bonded joint and, in particular, a type of bonded joint. The computing system selects from a model template repository one or more bonded joint model templates associated with the type of bonded joint. The computing system generates a bonded joint model based on the bonded joint model templates and the parameters. The bonded joint model facilitates the performance of finite element analysis (FEA). FEA logic of the computing system simulates the application of stress to the bonded joint model. The FEA logic of the computing system determines a change in a size of a defect that results from the application of stress to the bonded joint model. The computing system determines, based on the change in the size of the defect, the life expectancy of the bonded joint.

Abstract: A process identifier for a job is collected. The job runs on a plurality of nodes. The job is identified using the process identifier. A node for the job is identified. An amount of power consumed by the node to run the job is determined.

Abstract: An indication of a mode for a job is received. An available power for the job is determined based on the mode. A first power for the job is allocated based on the available power. A first frequency for the job is determined based on the available power. The first power is adjusted based on the available power.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions executable by one or more processors to perform operations including: receiving a plurality of input parameters including (i) a workload type, (ii) a list of selected nodes belonging to a distributed computer system, and (iii) a list of frequencies; responsive to receiving the plurality of workload parameters, retrieving calibration data from a calibration database; generating a power estimate based on the plurality of workload parameters and the calibration data; and providing the power estimate to a resource manager is shown. Alternatively, the input parameters may include (i) a workload type, (ii) a list of selected nodes belonging to a distributed computer system, and (iii) an amount of available power, wherein the estimator may provide an estimation of the frequency at which the nodes should operate to utilize as much of the available power without exceeding the available power.
