[AIAB-01] Architecture overview

In this scenario, the goal is to make Renaissance run faster by optimizing the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters.

The following picture represents the high-level architecture of how Akamas operates in this scenario.

In the following, you will first create a System with two components corresponding to the JVM and the Renaissance application (which only for your first studies is represented by a benchmark). Then you will create a Telemetry Instance from the CVS Telemetry Provider so as to collect metrics generated in CSV format by Renaissance. Finally, you will create a Workflow to automate the whole process of applying a benchmark configuration, launching the benchmark, collecting the resulting metrics. This will allow you to create your optimization Study to identify the optimal configuration.

Before starting, you need to login to Akamas with the following command:
