Embodiments of the present application provide an operating parameter recommendation method and apparatus, used for in a
big data processing scenario, recommending operating parameters for a computing device on the basis of the
resource consumption under different operating parameters, without depending on historical data. The method comprises: first, on the basis of information obtained during the
processing of historical tasks in a
big data system, establishing a
first relationship among the corresponding
data information, parameters of a computing device
processing the tasks, and time required to process the tasks, and a second relationship among the
data information, the parameters, and resources of the computing device consumed for processing the tasks; inputting
data information of a task to be processed, and the
first relationship and the second relationship to a
genetic algorithm, and outputting multiple sets of time values and resource values, i.e., modeling the process of the computing device executing
data processing tasks, so as to fit the relationship between the time and
resource consumption of the computing device and the operating parameters of the computing device; and determining operating parameters on the basis of actual available resources of the computing device or
resource consumption that a user desires.
