Claim Text:
1. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to: identify one or more degradations existing in a data processing system based on a set of degradation values obtained from a set of degradation sensors; determine whether one or more operational parameters need to be modified based on the one or more identified degradations; and responsive to determining that the one or more operational parameters need to be modified based on the one or more identified degradations, implement an input change to a one or more control devices in order that the one or more operational parameters are modified, wherein the set of degradation values obtained from the set of degradation sensors are adjusted to match an identified characteristic of degradation using a control_step_function and wherein the control_step function is at least one of a linear function, a non-linear function, a geometric function, or a logarithmic fraction.
