Claim Text:
1. A method for performing a hypothetical power management analysis on a distributed computer system, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of chronologically consecutive snapshots of the distributed computer system for a predefined time period during which a power management module may be disabled, each snapshot containing information regarding at least resource usage of clients running in the distributed computer system during a specified time interval of the predefined time period; extracting demands of the clients for a resource from each snapshot of the distributed computer system; stitching together the extracted demands of the clients for the resource from the chronologically consecutive snapshots to produce a workload trace for the predefined time period; constructing modeling scenarios from the chronologically consecutive snapshots of the distributed computer system and the workload trace; and performing analyses on the modeling scenarios to simulate the operation of the distributed computer system for the predefined time period during which the power management module is enabled to compute potential power savings.
