Abstract
A system that detects the onset of degradation for interconnections in a component within a computer system. During operation, the system monitors inferential variables associated with the interconnections during operation of the computer system. Next, the system determines a present state of the component from the monitored inferential variables. The system then compares the present state of the component with an initial state of the component. If the comparison indicates that the interconnections in the component have reached or will reach a limited operating state (LOS), the system performs a remedial action.
