Abstract
A system that generates a dynamic power-flux map for a set of computer systems. During operation the system determines the locations of the computer systems. Next, the system receives dynamic traces of power consumption for the computer systems, wherein a dynamic trace of power consumption for a given computer system is generated based on dynamic traces of monitored inferential variables for the given computer system. The system then correlates the locations of the computer systems with the dynamic traces of power consumption for the computer systems, and generates the dynamic power-flux map for the set of computer systems based on the correlated locations and the dynamic traces for the computer systems.
