Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that dynamically characterizes computer system performance. The system operates by simultaneously varying multiple input variables in the computer system, and gathering performance results by measuring time-dependent responses in one or more response variables. In this way, responses to variations in the multiple input variables can be measured simultaneously. Next, the system analyzes the performance results to determine correlations between input variables and output variables.
