1. A method of controlling an output of a computing system, comprising:
- providing, via a processing system, a set of adjustable inputs to the computing system;
observing, via the processing system, while in operation, performance metrics associated with an output of the computing system;
identifying, via the processing system, adjustable inputs from the set of adjustable inputs which most affect at least a selected one of the performance metrics, the identifying comprising applying a statistical analysis to the observed performance metrics to identify the adjustable inputs; and
adjusting, via the processing system, while in operation, only the identified adjustable inputs to achieve a desired value of the at least selected one perfbrrnance metric without adjusting the adjustable inputs that are not identified but are provided to the computing system.

Abstract
A technique for controlling an output of a computing system having multiple adjustable inputs includes providing a set of adjustable inputs to the computing system, observing an output of the computing system while the system is in operation, and selecting a subset of adjustable inputs from the set of adjustable inputs based on the observation of the output. The inputs in the selected subset are then adjusted to achieve a desired output of the computing system.

7. A system for dynamically controlling an output of a computing system having a plurality of adjustable inputs, comprising:
-
an input selection module to dynamically identify, via a processor, a subset of adjustable inputs from a plurality of adjustable inputs that are provided to a computing system in response to observation of performance metrics associated with an output of the computing system while the computing system is in operation, wherein the input selection module applies a statistical analysis to identify which adjustable inputs of the set of adjustable inputs most affect at least a selected one of the performance metrics while the computing system is in operation; and a control module coupled to the input selection module and configured to adjust, via the processor, only the adjustable parameters in the identified subset to achieve a desired value of the at least one performance metric. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An article comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed by a processor-based system cause the processor-based system to:
-
observe performance metrics associated with an output of a computing system during operation of the computing system, the computing system having a plurality of adjustable inputs; identify a subset of adjustable inputs of the plurality of adjustable inputs which most affect at least one of the performance metrics, the identification comprising applying a statistical analysis, during operation of the computing system, to identify the subset of adjustable inputs; generate an input-output model of the computing system based on the determined subset of adjustable inputs; and use the input-output model to adjust, during operation of the computing system, only the adjustable inputs in the determined subset to achieve a desired output of the computing system without adjusting the adjustable inputs of the computing system that are not in the determined subset. - View Dependent Claims (16)
