goat testing

Hey,

thanks for a great plugin giving the chance to know a bit more about the actual algorithm.

But strangely, I cannot connect to the gene-list as a set of input variables - just sometimes (reason unknown so far) I can connect. maybe when a galapagos component also is present on the canvas? whatsoever, it seems not to be supported cause goat crashes when starting with a gene list - can this be implemented maybe, if it was overseen or something? or is it for a reason?

the other thing is, i am currently running a global deterministic optimization with goat and karamba and see drops in the cpu-usage every ~second. the definition takes about 400ms to complete (i know this is still too long, but it's a temporary error in karamba i hope) - does it take that long to calculate the next step for the algorithm? also, i have 27 input variables for goat - is this too much?

thanks for the support,

best

robert

Noticed the gene-list problem as well. Though it shows the little Helix, it wont connect.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback. 'Gene Lists' support is not yet implemented, I'll do this once i tracked down the reason for goat not working on 64-bit systems.

Regarding CPU usage, 27 variables should not be too much for goat. However, goat requires a certain number of GH definition evaluations for the optimization. In total, the number will be less than for Galapagos, but still some. It would be nice to have a look at your GH model so that I can further benchmark things.

thanks, simon
