Real-time adjustment of application-specific operating parameters for backwards compatibility

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory;
• and
• processor executable instructions embodied in the memory, the instructions being configured to implement a method for optimizing performance of a new system to run a legacy application written for a legacy system, the method comprising:
• running the legacy application on the new system;
• recording or deriving performance information for the legacy application while running the legacy application on the new system;
• determining performance characteristics for the legacy application running on the new system by analyzing the performance information, the performance characteristics including one or more key performance metrics and other performance information, wherein the one or more key performance metrics must be met when the legacy application is run on the new system and wherein the other performance information is useful for adjusting one or more operating parameters of the new system when running the legacy application on the new system;
• and
• adjusting the one or more operating parameters so that the one or more key performance metrics are met.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions embodied therein, the instructions being configured to implement a method for characterizing performance of a legacy application for subsequent adjustment of operating parameters when running the legacy application on a new system, the method comprising:

• running the legacy application on the new system;
• recording or deriving performance information for the legacy application while running the legacy application on the new system;
• determining performance characteristics for the legacy application running on the new system by analyzing the performance information, the performance characteristics including one or more key performance metrics and other performance information, wherein the one or more key performance metrics must be met when the legacy application is run on the new system and wherein the other performance information is useful for adjusting one or more operating parameters of the new system when running the legacy application on the new system;
• and
• adjusting the one or more operating parameters so that the one or more key performance metrics are met.
