Config:DataSource

Generated for SUMO toolbox version 6.1. We are well aware that documentation is not always complete and possibly even out of date in some cases. We try to document everything as best we can but much is limited by available time and manpower. We are are a university research group after all. The most up to date documentation can always be found (if not here) in the default.xml configuration file and, of course, in the source files. If something is unclear please dont hesitate to ask.

SampleEvaluator

local

Evaluate samples locally using a native executable/script or a java class

<[[Config:SampleEvaluator|SampleEvaluator]] id="local" type="ibbt.sumo.SampleEvaluators.LocalSampleEvaluator">
   <!-- Maximum number of times to resubmit a point (e.g., in case something went wrong) -->
   <Option key="maxResubmissions" value="1"/>
   <!-- If a sample takes longer than "sampleTimeout*average evaluation time of one sample" 
   seconds to evaluate it is removed from the pending list (set to -1 to disable) -->
   <Option key="sampleTimeout" value="-1"/>
   <!-- Can be set to "java" for java executables, to "external" for platform-specific
        binaries and to nothing at all for auto-detection.-->
   <Option key="simulatorType" value=""/>
   <!-- Can be set to a number of seconds, if one simulator evaluation exceeds this timeout,
        the simulation is aborted -->
   <!-- <Option key="timeout" value="12"/> -->
   <!-- Number of samples to evaluate concurrently, useful if you have a dual or multi-core machine -->
   <Option key="threadCount" value="1"/>
