optirunner

The optirunner application is the most important application for the end user. This application will run the actual optimization process and will be started by the user. It is possible to use the optimization API to write your own application that communicates directly with the optimaster, but this should be rarely needed.

The default usage of optirunner is by specifying a description of your job in XML and calling optirunner to execute this job. A description of this XML job representation is given in the next section. Thereafter, a short explanation of how you can use your own custom optimization algorithms with optirunner is given.
