Preview Release 3
New in this release:
- A new tuner,
AT_Anneal
that uses Simulated Annealing (SA) to optimize the configuration. The particular SA algorithm used is relatively simple: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2246034 - Now that we have SA, we also have the concept of perturbing a configuration, i.e., randomly pick a "nearby" configuration. This has been used to improve
AT_Bayes
so that there is actually an exploration-exploitation trade off. Currently, we try to exploit only the best-seen configuration. - Better debugging output while tuning: now we properly show time spent optimizing & compiling.
