Systems and methods of optimized tuning of resources

A system comprising a processor and memory, wherein the processor and the memory in combination are operable to implement a method, the method being performed in a computing environment on the system, the method comprising:

• detecting an optimization trigger in the computing environment using a kernel-level agent executing in a kernel mode of the processor, wherein the kernel mode of the processor provides unrestricted access to at least some hardware and memory of the system;
• responsive to the detecting the optimization trigger, identifying, via a user-level agent executing in a user-level mode of the processor, an optimization profile of a plurality of optimization profiles that is applicable to the optimization trigger, wherein the user-level mode of the processor restricts access to the at least some hardware and memory of the system;
• storing pre-modification metadata, the pre-modification metadata comprising data related to performance in the computing environment;
• subsequent to the storing pre-modification metadata, temporarily modifying the computing environment in accordance with the optimization profile using the user-level agent executing in the user-level mode of the processor;
• subsequent to the temporarily modifying, storing post-modification metadata, the post-modification metadata comprising data related to performance in the computing environment after the temporarily modifying is performed;
• responsive to the temporarily modifying, monitoring the computing environment for an optimization exit trigger using the kemel-level agent executing in the kernel mode of the processor;
• and
• responsive to detection of the optimization exit trigger via the kernel-level agent executing in the kernel mode of the processor, automatically reversing the temporarily modifying using the user-level agent executing in the user-level mode of the processor.

A computer-program product comprising a non-transitory computer-usable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therein, the computer-readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method, the method being performed by a computer system comprising a computing environment, the method comprising:

• detecting an optimization trigger in the computing environment using a kernel-level agent executing in a kernel mode of a central processing unit (CPU) of the computer system, wherein the kernel mode of the CPU provides unrestricted access to at least some hardware and memory of the computer system;
• responsive to the detecting the optimization trigger, identifying, via a user-level agent executing in a user-level mode of the CPU, an optimization profile of a plurality of optimization profiles that is applicable to the optimization trigger, wherein the user-level mode of the CPU restricts access to the at least some hardware and memory of the computer system;
• storing pre-modification metadata, the pre-modification metadata comprising data related to performance in the computing environment;
• subsequent to the storing pre-modification metadata, temporarily modifying the computing environment in accordance with the optimization profile using the user-level agent executing in the user-level mode of the CPU;
• subsequent to the temporarily modifying, storing post-modification metadata, the post-modification metadata comprising data related to performance in the computing environment after the temporarily modifying is performed;
• detecting an optimization exit trigger using the kernel-level agent executing in the kernel mode of the CPU;
• and
• responsive to the detecting the optimization exit trigger, automatically reversing the temporarily modifying using the user-level agent executing in the user-level mode of the CPU.
