1. A method, comprising:

  • storing a plurality of profiles in a storage device in a computing system, each of the plurality of profiles comprising a set of kernel parameters;

    generating, by a processing device, a first user interface to permit a user to enter a selection of one of the plurality of profiles or a selection which allows a user to input a user-written custom profile not available on the computing system;

    when the plurality of profiles includes a first profile desired by the user,receiving, by the processing device from the user, a selection of the first profile; and

    before executing an application on the computing system, tuning a kernel using the first profile by setting the kernel according to a kernel parameter of the first profile;

    when the plurality of profiles does not include the first profile,receiving, by the processing device from the user, a selection which allows the user to input a user-written custom profile;

    generating, by the processing device, a second user interface to permit the user to input the user-written custom profile;

    receiving, by the processing device via the second user interface, the user-written custom profile; and

    before executing the application on the computing system, tuning the kernel using the user-written custom profile by setting the kernel according to a kernel parameter of the user-written custom profile; and

    executing the application on the computing system.
