Sorry, for the limited updates on the blog and genetic-library. Between trips to Europe, OLS paper/presentation, high IBM workload, putting TicketShuffle.com back up, looking at real-estate investments, and other ventures, it has been a busy summer. Let’s not get into the fall w/ Business school starting up.

After OLS, I am hoping to integrated plugsched into the genetic-library, and start on the workload fingerprinting. Doing workload fingerprinting will enable reintroducing good genes from previous workloads back into the gene-pool. It should hopefully speed up the convergence on optimal solutions quicker.

Rebasing the genetic-lib to 2.6.12 is also high on the priority list. I did a quick update of the AS component, but I am not seeing the same type of results that I did on 2.6.11. I’m wondering if a performance counter is not getting updated appropriately. That usually breaks the genetic-lib quickly.
