Self-Tuning Systems

چکیده
Modern operating systems are highly parameterized, allowing system administrators to tune them in order to achieve optimal performance for the local workload. However, this is a diicult and time consuming process. We propose a mechanism to automate this process, by running simulations of system performance for various parameter values instead of the system's idle loop. The simulations are driven by log les containing information about the local workload, and genetic algorithms are used to search for the optimal parameter values. We evaluated this idea by running such simulations oo-line. A case study involving batch scheduling on an iPSC hypercube found parameter values that reduced fragmentation and salvaged a quarter of the computing cycles that were lost when using the default values.

متن کاملBasic Issues in Identification Scheme of a Self-Tuning Power System Stabilizer
Power system stabilizers have been widely used and successfully implemented for the improvement of power system damping. However, a fixed parameter power system stabilizer tends to be sensitive to variations in generator dynamics so that, for operating conditions away from those used for design, the effectiveness of the stabilizer can be greatly impaired. With the advent of microprocessor techn...

In this paper, an additive self-tuning (ST) control scheme is presented for a static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) to improve performance of conventional PI control system for damping sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) oscillations. The active and reactve series compensation are provided by a three-level 24-pulse SSSC and fixed capacitor. The proposed ST controller consists of a pole shift...
