CGPTuner: a Contextual Gaussian Process Bandit Approach for the Automatic Tuning of IT Configurations Under Varying Workload Conditions

Summary: CGPTuner uses a contextual Gaussian-process bandit to jointly tune DBMS, JVM, OS, and hardware parameters without historical knowledge. It adapts configurations to workload changes and transfers across Cassandra and MongoDB, balancing response time against memory. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 21 2026)
