OBJECT- ORIENTED FRAMEWORK FOR GENERIC ADAPTIVE CONTROL

摘要

A system and method are described for constructing and implementing genericsoftware agents for automated tuning of computer systems and applications. Theframework defines the modules and interfaces to allow agents to be created ina modular fashion. The specifics of the target system (260) are captured byadaptors (230) that provide a uniform interface to the target system (260).Data in the agent is managed by a metric manager (240), and controller modulesimplement the desired control algorithms. The modular structure and commoninterfaces allow for the construction of generic agents that are applicable toa wide variety of target systems, and can use a wide variety of controlalgorithms.
