Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of optimizing an operating environment, the method comprising: receiving, from a first computing system, an initial optimization task at a second computing system; processing the initial optimization task in an initial optimization environment to obtain one or more initial optimization results; for each of the one or more initial optimization results, generating an optimization data record that comprises the initial optimization task, the initial optimization environment, and the initial optimization result; for each of the optimization data records: varying one or more parameters of the initial optimization environment to generate an updated optimization environment; processing the initial optimization task in the updated optimization environment to obtain an updated optimization result; storing the initial optimization results and updated optimization results in a repository that is part of or communicably coupled to the second computing system; and sorting the stored optimization results to determine one or more best optimization results of the stored optimization results; receiving, from the first computing system, an additional optimization task at the second computing system; comparing the initial optimization task with the additional optimization task to determine a similarity; comparing the similarity to a similarity threshold; and based on the similarity being greater than the similarity threshold, accessing the optimization data records to identify a particular optimization data record associated with the initial optimization task for display by the first computing system.
