Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to the use of evolutionary algorithms for tuning the performance of read channels. Instructions encoded on a medium are performed by processor cause a storage device to perform operations including obtaining values corresponding to operating parameters of a read channel of the storage device, generating one or more output parameters corresponding to use of the values with the read channel, selecting a proper subset of the values based on the one or more output parameters and a cost function, creating a new generation of the values corresponding to the operating parameters based on the proper subset and repeating the generating and the selecting using the new generation of the values until a target is achieved, and outputting two or more of the values of the proper subset of a last generation, when the target is achieved to configure the read channel.
