NumBBO/CoCO Framework in C (Experimental Part)

Prerequisites

The simplest way to check the prerequisits is to go directly to Getting Started below and give it a try. Then act upon failure, as in this case probably one of the following is lacking:

  • Python is installed (version >=2.6). If this is not the case, check out Anaconda, as this provides additionally all Python packages necessary to run the COCO postprocessing as well as the ipython shell. The postprocessing needs currently Python < 3.0, i.e. 2.6 or 2.7.

  • make is installed and works with one of the Makefiles provided in this folder. You might want to type make within this folder to see whether this works.

  • A C compiler, like gcc, which is invoked by make, is installed.

Nmake

Instead of make and Makefile you can use nmake and the corresponding NMakefile

Getting Started

See here for the first steps. Then

  • Copy the files example_experiment.c, coco.c, coco.h and Makefile to a folder of your choice. Modify the example_experiment.c file to include the solver of your choice (instead of random_search). Do not forget to also choose the right benchmarking suite and the corresponding observer.

  • Invoke make to compile and run your experiment.
