  • Computing system with compile farm
    Patent number: 8589875
    Abstract: A computer readable medium is provided and has instructions stored thereon, which, when executed cause a processor of a computing system to execute a method of controlling the computing system. The method includes iteratively running a workload over a period of time, the workload being defined by software components of a software repository of the computing system, measuring power consumption associated with the running of the workload with each iteration and storing data indicative of the power consumption, analyzing the data and identifying, from a result of the analysis, power consumption changes over the period of time, generating a regression profile based on the power consumption changes, and managing the software components in accordance with the regression profile.
