| There is a vast set of compiler flags that can be used to build Chrome for |
| ChromeOS. This option space has not been explored before. This directory |
| provides an infrastructure to build Chrome with certain flag combinations, test |
| it, gather results and prepare a fresh batch of flags to repeat the process. The |
| infrastructure supports plug-in modules that implement algorithms for searching |
| in the N-Dimensional space of compiler flag combinations. |
| |
| Currently, three different algorithms are built, namely genetic algorithm, hill |
| climbing and negative flag iterative elimination. The module 'testing_batch.py' |
| contains the testing of these algorithms. |
| |
| To run the script, type in python testing_batch.py. |
