The experimenter for Iterative Optimization Heuristics

IOHexperimenter

Experimenter for Iterative Optimization Heuristics (IOHs), built natively in* C++.

• Documentation: https://iohprofiler.github.io/IOHexperimenter
• Publication: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.05281
• Wiki page: https://iohprofiler.github.io

IOHexperimenter provides:

• A framework to ease the benchmarking of any iterative optimization heuristic

• Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO) problem set (25 pseudo-Boolean problems)
• Integration of the well-known Black-black Optimization Benchmarking (BBOB) problem set (24 continuous problems)
• Interface for adding new problems and suite/problem set
• Advanced logging module that takes care of registering the data in a seamless manner
• Data format is compatible with IOHanalyzer

C++

The interface for C++ interface is described in more detail in the wiki. The complete API documentation, including some usage examples, can be found here.

Python

A quickstart for the Python interface and the full API documentation can be found here. It is also described in the wiki and available via pip.
