Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Modern operating systems are highly parameterized, allowing system administrators to tune them to optimize the local workload. However, this is difficult and time-consuming. The authors propose a mechanism to automate this process by running simulations of system performance for Various para meter values in place of the system's idle loop. The simulations are driven by log files containing information about the local workload, and genetic algorithms are used to search for the optimal parameter values. The parameter values they found reduced fragmentation and salvaged a quarter of the computing cycles that were lost when using the defaults.
