tune
vt. [from automotive or musical usage] To optimize a program or system for a
particular environment, esp. by adjusting numerical parameters designed as
hook s for tuning, e.g., by changing #define lines in C. One may tune for
time (fastest execution), tune for space (least memory use), or tune for
configuration (most efficient use of hardware). See hot spot , hand-hacking.
