Nvidia patents AI system to predict data center equipment failures
Nvidia has filed a patent for a system that uses machine learning to monitor sensors in data centers. It analyzes historical sensor data to train a model that can predict when specific components are likely to fail in the future.
In the filing’s own words
Systems and methods for monitoring data center metrics using machine learning are disclosed. A system can obtain a first set of sensor readings from data center components during a first time period. The system can generate a dataset using the first set of sensor readings and a negative sampling function. The dataset can include labels generated according to a learned distribution derived from the first set of sensor readings. The system can update a machine learning model using the dataset to predict likelihoods of future anomalies in the plurality of data center components. The system can obtain a second set of sensor readings from the data center components during a second time period. The system can generate, using the machine learning model and the second set of sensor readings, a prediction of a future anomaly that may occur in at least one of the data center components.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors comprising: one or more circuits to: obtain a first set of sensor readings from a plurality of data center components of a data center during a first time period; generate a dataset using the first set of sensor readings and a negative sampling function, the dataset comprising labels generated according to a learned distribution derived from the first set of sensor readings; update a machine learning model using the labels of the dataset to predict likelihoods of future anomalies in the plurality of data center components; obtain a second set of sensor readings from the plurality of data center components during a second time period; and generate, using the machine learning model and the second set of sensor readings, a prediction of a future anomaly that may occur in at least one of the plurality of data center components.
