Yet Another Framework for Experiments
A classical workflow consists in the following steps:
Experiments are then conducted by repeating this task while varying the data, problem parameters, solvers and/or solver parameters. A computer cluster may be used to run all the resulting tasks in parallel, which requires to distribute them adequately among the available resources and then to collect and merge the results.
The package yafe offers a generic framework to conduct such experiments, aiming at saving time and avoiding errors:
