|
||
|
|
* \brief Specialized framework for co-evolution.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Co-evolution framework is based on multi-threading programming, where each thread is associated to
|
||
|
|
* a population. The execution sequence of each thread is the same than what usually done in the
|
||
|
|
* main function of standard evolutions (i.e. build system, evaluation operator, vivarium, evolver,
|
||
|
|
* initialize evolver, and start evolution). The population in each thread evolves independently,
|
||
|
|
* with inter-thread synchronization only in co-evolutionary fitness evaluation operator. This
|
||
|
|
* operator behaves quite differently than usual mono-population evaluation operator. The
|
||
|
|
* co-evolution evaluation procedure starts by calling Coev::EvaluationOp::makeSets, which makes
|
||
|
|
* evaluation sets of the evolving population and add them into shared storage structure, using
|
||
|
|
* method Coev::EvaluationOp::addSet. When the desired number of evaluation sets is added (the
|
||
|
|
* trigger value) the co-evolutionary fitness evaluation method defined in
|
||
|
|
* Coev::EvaluationOp::evaluateSets is called. Pure virtual methods Coev::EvaluationOp::makeSets
|
||
|
|
* and Coev::EvaluationOp::evaluateSets are problem-specific and must be defined by the user in
|
||
|
|
* its co-evolutionary fitness evaluation operators.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* A trigger value is used to specify the number of evaluation sets needed to start a
|
||
|
|
* co-evolutionary evaluation. This value is usually equal to the number of threads/populations used,
|
||
|
|
* as usually each thread/population add one evaluation set before doing the co-evolutionary
|
||
|
|
* evaluation operation. But different trigger value can be used depending on the context.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Marc Parizeau's portable C++ classes for multi-threading (defined in namespace Threading)
|
||
|
|
* are also provided with co-evolutionary framework. These are used internally by the co-evolution
|
||
|
|
* framework. Users are advised to use them for their co-evolutionary applications.
