Claim One:
1. A method performed on a computer processor, said method comprising: executing a workload within an execution environment, said execution environment being executed by a plurality of processors; determining that an experiment is ready to be executed; identifying a first variable to change in said experiment, said first variable being a configuration input to said execution environment and causing an operational change to said execution environment; identifying a first value for said first variable; identifying a first processor being one of said plurality of processors; changing said execution environment with respect to said first processor to correspond to said first value of said first variable to create a first experimental version of said execution environment; measuring a first metric with respect to said first experimental version to generate a first experimental result; measuring said first metric with respect to a baseline version of said execution environment executing on a second processor to generate a baseline result, said second processor being one of said plurality of processors; comparing said first experimental result to said baseline result; and when said first experimental result improves said first metric, propagating said first value of said first variable to said second processor.
