Problem Generator - A TD Mk Landscape benchmark generator
Main functionality:
- generation of problems & calculation of these problems’s global optimum (or optima)
- generation of some input codomain files for the problem generation
The problem generator has various subcommands to switch between input modes: configuration_folder, codomain_folder, configuration_file, and codomain_file.
The file structure of the configuration, codomain, and (output) problem files is listed in file_structures.
The installation instructions are listed in installation.
Quick Start
Example output problem
An example output problem can be found in the data/ folder, if one only wishes to use an example output problem.
Binary
The quickest way to start is by using cargo install problem_generator if you already have Rust installed or downloading the executable from the Release page if you don’t.
Create a new root directory, where we will store the codomain and problem folders in, and create a new configuration file to generate some problems:
mkdir example/problem_generation -p
vim example/problem_generation/deceptive_trap_separated.txt
Copy in the following contents:
M 1 4
k 5 6
o 0 1
b 1 2
deceptive-trap
Then enter problem_generator configuration_folder example to generate 1 problem per configuration, which can be found in the problems folder. The accompanying codomain values can be found in the codomain_files folder.
Library
To use problem_generator in your project, you can simply add problem_generator into your cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
problem_generator = "^0.3.0"
The library documentation can be found on doc.rs.
