1There is a vast set of compiler flags that can be used to build Chrome for
2ChromeOS. This option space has not been explored before. This directory
3provides an infrastructure to build Chrome with certain flag combinations, test
4it, gather results and prepare a fresh batch of flags to repeat the process. The
5infrastructure supports plug-in modules that implement algorithms for searching
6in the N-Dimensional space of compiler flag combinations.
7
8Currently, three different algorithms are built, namely genetic algorithm, hill
9climbing and negative flag iterative elimination. The module 'testing_batch.py'
10contains the testing of these algorithms.

12To run the script, type in python testing_batch.py.
