      1 There is a vast set of compiler flags that can be used to build Chrome for
      2 ChromeOS. This option space has not been explored before. This directory
      3 provides an infrastructure to build Chrome with certain flag combinations, test
      4 it, gather results and prepare a fresh batch of flags to repeat the process. The
      5 infrastructure supports plug-in modules that implement algorithms for searching
      6 in the N-Dimensional space of compiler flag combinations.
      7 
      8 Currently, three different algorithms are built, namely genetic algorithm, hill
      9 climbing and negative flag iterative elimination. The module 'testing_batch.py'
     10 contains the testing of these algorithms.
     11 
     12 To run the script, type in python testing_batch.py.
