iTuned: A Tool for Configuring and Visualizing Database Parameters
Summary: iTuned analyzes a SQL workload to recommend config knobs (buffer pool, MLP, I/O daemons). It introduces Adaptive Sampling to identify high-impact parameters, an online cycle-stealing executor for production experiments, and cross-DB portability with response-surface visualizations.
