A new research paper evaluates eight different optimizers for configuring software systems, considering varying budget constraints and system types. The study found that model-based optimizers perform best with limited budgets, while model-free optimizers are superior with more generous budgets. Notably, the FLASH optimizer demonstrated consistent high performance across most systems and budgets, attributed to the prevalence of good local optima in many systems. AI
