New tool Model4Tune evaluates surrogate models for software tuning beyond accuracy

A new paper introduces Model4Tune, a predictive tool designed to help practitioners select the most effective surrogate models for software configuration tuning. The research challenges the conventional focus on model accuracy, proposing a new theory based on fitness landscape analysis to assess model usefulness. Empirical studies involving up to 27,000 cases demonstrate that Model4Tune significantly outperforms random guessing in identifying optimal model-tuner pairs for unseen systems, thereby reducing the effort required for software configuration engineering. AI

IMPACT Offers a novel approach to model selection for software tuning, potentially improving efficiency in system performance engineering.

    Evaluating Useful Surrogate Models for Configuration Tuning Beyond Accuracy: A Fitness Landscape Analysis Perspective

    arXiv:2509.21945v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: To efficiently tune configuration for better software system performance (e.g., latency) at the deployment and maintenance stage, many tuners have leveraged a surrogate model to expedite the process instead of solely relyi…
