GTExperimentLauncher

A bunch of python scripts to launch experiments for GT paper.

Dependencies

GTExperimentLauncher has been tested with Python 3.5 and 2.7 and it requires the installation of the following external packages:

  • paramiko (for ssh connection -required client-side-)
  • numpy (for mathematical calculations -required server-side-)

Hands on

To execute the launcher execute python GTLauncher.py. A multiple-choice menu will appear. From there the user can decide to execute the various phases of the experiments one by one or all together. In particular, the menu permits to:

  1. Check the correctness of the properties.ini file, which contains the information required to run the exeriments (connection settings, folders, parameters)
  2. Clean the remote folder
  3. Upload the experiment folder to the server
  4. Launch the experiments in parallel the UNIX screen command is used to launch in parallel several algorithms. When all the experiments are done results are gathered and indexes are calculated
  5. Compress the results and download them in a folder previously defined by the user

properties.ini

This is an example of the properties.ini file used to configure the experiments. The program helps the user to generate it in the correct way, tough.
