PyPRS: A Python Software Package for Parallel Ranking and Selection Procedures

PyPRS is a Python software package specifically developed to solve large-scale ranking and selection (R&S) problems in parallel computing environments. The underlying parallel computing framework is Ray. PyPRS incorporates four well-known parallel procedures:

• The Good Selection Procedure (GSP)
• The Knockout-Tournament (KT) Procedure
• The Parallel Adaptive Survivor Selection (PASS) Procedure
• The Fixed-Budget Knockout-Tournament (FBKT) Procedure

Users can also upload custom procedures to test and compare performance against these built-in procedures.
