Automatic Virtual Machine Configuration for Database Workloads
Summary: Automatic VM configuration for multi-DBMS workloads on pooled hardware. A workload-aware advisor tunes VM resources; runtime feedback refines choices via a whatif queryoptimizer; implemented for PostgreSQL and DB2, evaluated on DSS/OLTP. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
