Mon Nov 8 17:27:01 2021, Ethan Fahimi, 07/20/2021 AREA run 3 violin plot
|
This is a plot made from the AREA project with full Arasim implementation with each gain pattern of each individual being fixed across all frequencies.
This run was done with 50 total individuals per generation, across 36 generations. Each individual was tested with 4 seeds of 10,000 neutrinos,
for a total of 40,000 neutrinos. For each new generation, 25 individuals were created with roulette crossover, 8 with roulette mutation, 9 with tournament |

Fri Sep 17 13:41:36 2021, Ethan Fahimi, 07/20/2021 AREA run 3 violin plot
|
This is a plot made from the AREA project with full Arasim implementation. It can be seen that the Veff of any individuals is not what I would consider
"good", nor is it really rising, it is quite flat. This is because in this version of AREA, the gain pattern at each frequency is generated differently
than each other frequency, there is no correlation. This is known and actively being corrected. This plot is of old data and was just made for two reasons: |

Fri Sep 3 14:28:55 2021, Alex M, Plots for 9/3/21 Collaboration Meeting   
|
This ELOG post contains plots I made this week for comparing the antennas as they were evolved in the run being discussed in the upcoming paper with
those same antennas when using realized gain instead of gain. These plots are preliminary, in that they should be edited before being placed in a paper
(for example, VSWR is not in dBi). |

Here are plots I made for the meeting on 9/3/21. These plots represent a comparison of the gain and realized gain for the 23rd generation of the run
being discussed in the upcoming paper. Here is a list of the plots
Gain vs realized gain

Worked with Alex on fixing a few bugs with AREA. We are
trying to solve an issue where the individuals are not finishing runs (around one in every four gens with 100 individuals). We believe some individuals
may be too good and are then taking more than the wall time we have given them. Alex is testing this while I am working on a script that will add all the |

Fri Mar 19 17:39:47 2021, Alex M, New Run
|
We began a new run using the same parameters as the previous one (see the last ELOG entry). The previous one ran for 8 generations. The difference between
this run and the last one is that we have added in the polarity fix for AraSim Brian and Jorge gave us (copying the correct Report.cc and Report.h files
into our AraSim version). Here are the run parameters: |
Mon Mar 15 13:05:22 2021, Alex M, Current Run
|
We are currently running the loop using the improved parameters. The parameters are as follows:
50 individuals
80/20 Roulette/Tournament
6% Reproduction, 72% Crossover, 22% Mutation
Also note that individual 5 of generation
1 had its fitness score altered because one of its AraSim jobs didn't finish in time (and we would have had to wait 5 hours for it to rerun). |
Thu Mar 11 15:41:52 2021, Alex M, Running The Loop Updated
|
Because of issues we were having with XF when running at the command line, we've shifted to running through a Pitzer VDI (see here: https://ondemand.osc.edu/pun/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/bc_desktop/vdi/session_contexts/new).
The VDI will give you a mirror of a desktop running on OSC's side, so things like XF will run much faster. You can open a terminal by clicking
the black box at the bottom of the screen and then run the loop like normal (./Asym_XF_Loop.sh). This has the added benefit of making it possible to exit |
Fri Jan 29 15:59:21 2021, Alex M, Loop Demonstration Video
|
Here's the video I made a few months ago demonstrating how to run the loop. There might be some changes that have been made since then, but they'll
generally be minor so it should still be representative of what running the loop looks like. It might need to be shared with you through the Microsoft
drive service OSU gives us in order to view it, so either message me on Slack or email me at machtay.1@osu.edu and I'll share the link through there. |

gave me for fixing the unwanted extensions on the job output files.

Tue Jan 19 19:00:30 2021, Alex M, Latest Run Details/Running on Slurm
|
OSC managed to figure out our issue with running XF from an interactive job on Slurm. Previously, we were losing our connection to x11 forwarding. The
solution is to use sinteractive instead of srun to obtain an interactive job. Here's the syntax:
sinteractive -A PAS0654 -t <time> -N 1 -n 8 -p serial |

Mon Dec 7 22:51:08 2020, Alex M, Important Runs
|
Today I removed some of the run directories which had very little or no data or weren't worth keeping around. There are still a few that I think
can be removed, but I'm keeping them until we can get a consensus that they can definitely be removed. Below I listed the names and descriptions of
the runs that I think we should definitely preserve going forward. In general, the more data contained in the run directory, the more important it is to |

Attached is a .txt file you can find in the Evolutionary_Loop directory as Loop_Error_List.txt. It's a list of the current errors we sometimes experience
in the loop, along with how to fix them if you encounter them while running. If people encounter errors that aren't in the list, let everyone know
in the #genstudents chat on slack and update the file with the error message and when it was encountered (what state the loop was in) and the possible |
