  • Profile-based performance tuning of computing systems
    Patent number: 9015622
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a system and a method to tune a computing system based on a profile have been presented. A profile as used herein broadly refers to a file containing various parameters of a computing system, such as kernel parameters (e.g., buffer size, network setup, etc.), usable to configure the computing system. For instance, a set of profiles are stored in a computer-readable storage device in a computing system, such as a server, a personal computer, a laptop computer, etc. A processing device miming on the computing system may receive a user selection of one of the set of profiles. In response to the user selection, the processing device may load the selected profile onto the computing system in order to tune the computing system according to the selected profile.
