Some embodiments of the present invention provide a system that analyzes data from a computer system. During operation, the system obtains the sensor data from a component in the computer system using a set of sensors. Next, the system transmits the sensor data to a microcontroller unit (MCU) coupled to the sensors and stores the sensor data in internal memory of the MCU. Finally, the system assesses the integrity of the component by analyzing the sensor data using a pattern-recognition apparatus in the MCU.

Embedded microcontrollers classifying signatures of components for predictive maintenance in computer servers

A phase and edge aligned local clock signal is generated in a data-receiving unit by deriving the local clock signal from a forwarded clock signal received from a transmitting unit. The local clock signal is a delayed replica of the forwarded clock signal, such that the receiving unit maintains synchronism between the local clock signal and the forwarded clock signal. Thus, transfers from an input latch to other components in the receiving unit can be effected in step with the receipt of data in the input latch.
