[AIAS-02] Guide: Create a study to optimize Java performance using the Akamas UI

This guide describes how to create an Akamas study to optimize the performance of a Java application. To do that, you will create an Akamas study using the UI wizard.

The target application to optimize is Renaissance, a sample Java benchmark that is available in the sandbox environment.

The optimization goal is to make Renaissance run faster (minimize the response time of the benchmark iterations). You will leverage Akamas to automatically identify the optimal JVM parameters (like the size of the heap and inner pools, type of garbage collector, etc.) that can speed up the application.

What you will learn

• How to create your first study using the Akamas UI

• How to conduct an optimization with performance constraints

• How to analyze and identify performance insights from a study results

What you will need

• Access to the Akamas-In-A-Sandbox (AIAS) environment with valid credentials.
