The process of adjusting system control variables to make the system divide its resources most efficiently for the workload.
In a servo system, the process of optimizing loop gains (usually PID terms) to achieve the desired response from a stage or mechanism from an input command.
n. The process of adjusting an application or a system to operate in a more efficient manner in the work environment of a particular installation.
the process of adjusting the transmitter and receiver circuitry so that it provides optimal signal performance at the Larmor frequency. A properly tuned scanner will produce images with a higher signal- to-noise ratio, and therefore improved diagnostic versatility.
adjusting the tension on the rigging based on conditions and sails being used to ensure the fastest speeds
Finding the executable version of a program that uses the least of a critical resource on a given hardware platform. The critical resource is usually time; the tuned program runs fastest. However, tuning for least memory or I/O use is also possible. Tuning is done by: altering the program's source code to use a different algorithm; by compiling the program with a different compiler or with different compiler options to get a more highly optimized executable; or changing the numbers of CPUs or placement of memory at execution time.
