Abstract
A genetic process is used to tune servo parameter values in a disk drive. An initial population of individuals is generated each including a value for each of a plurality of servo parameters. Fitness values are then calculated for each of the individuals in the initial population. Individuals from the initial population are then chosen for mating based on the calculated fitness values. The chosen individuals are manipulated using genetic operators to produce a new population of individuals. Fitness values are then calculated for the new population and the cycle is repeated. The process is continued until a predetermined criterion has been met. After the process has ended, an individual is chosen based on fitness values and the servo parameters of the disk drive are set accordingly.
