[AIAS-02] Guide: Create an Optimization Study for a Java application using the UI

This guide describes how to create an Optimization Study to optimize the performance of a Java application using the UI wizard.

All the artifacts required for this study are already been created and made available in the sandbox environment. Another guide describes how to create an optimization study and all required artifacts from the CLI.

For simplicity's sake, 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.
