Workloads +vary greatly between applications and even during an +application's life cycle. It is a daunting task for a +system administrator to manually keep up with a +constantly changing workload. To remedy this +shortcoming, intelligence needs to be put into a system +to autonomically handle this process. One method is to +take an algorithm commonly used in artificial +intelligence and apply it to the Linux kernel. + +This paper will cover the use of genetic-algorithms to +autonomically tune the kernel through the development +of the genetic-library. It will discuss the overall +designed of the genetic-library along with the hooked +schedulers, current status, and future work. Finally, +early performance numbers will be covered to give an +idea as towards the viability of the concept. + + |
