Abstract
A system for self-tuning hardware resources includes a processor, a hardware resource, an operating system (OS), a metric monitoring unit (MMU), and a configuration engine (CE). The OS determines: the hardware resource; a metric for monitoring the hardware resource; a hardware resource management policy for the hardware resource; and a primary and secondary sub-ranges for the metric. The OS sends a hardware resource management policy directive to the CE. The MMU monitors the hardware resource to obtain data for the metric. The CE receives the hardware resource management policy directive, determines the primary and secondary sub-ranges from the hardware resource management policy directive, obtains data for the metric from the MMU. When data is outside the primary sub-range and inside the secondary sub-range, the CE determines and executes a hardware resource optimization routine to bring hardware resource utilization into compliance with the primary sub-range.
