Kernel Policy Optimization for Computing Workloads

摘要

In one embodiment, during execution of a current workload being processed by the kernel, the method searches policy storage for a similar workload that has been previously optimized, wherein the sensor is used to compare the current workload to workloads in the policy storage. When the similar workload is found, the method optimizes different parameter values in a parameter value range specified in the policy specification for the parameter while the current workload is being processed by the kernel, wherein a parameter setting for the similar workload is used in the optimizing. When the similar workload is not found, the method optimizes different parameter values based on the parameter value range specified in the policy specification for the parameter while the current workload is being processed by the kernel. The method then evaluates the optimizing based on the optimization target.
