Abstract: A performance analyzer for a self-tuning system controller, and a method for performance analysis. A range of values for a control parameter of a system controller for a system is split into a plurality of sub-ranges, need is determined to obtain a data point for a sub-range of the plurality of sub-ranges based on a criteria, wherein said sub-range is adjacent to a sub-range having a best performance value that identifies a best performance for the system, the control parameter is set to a value to generate the data point for the adjacent sub-range; and the control parameter set to a value for system performance, based on a search range determined from a window of data points that includes the generated data point.

Abstract: A code arrangement for facilitating the localization of an information source comprising a collector module for collecting information units to be localized from the information source and for causing a copy of the information units to be localized, a synchronization module for receiving the localized information units and comparing each to a current version of the information unit from the information source to determine if the information unit has changed and a dispersing module for storing the localized information unit if the information unit is unchanged. A related processor and method may include features similar to the elements of the code arrangement.
