Installation Guide

The original Installation guide is the pdf version (which will be posted here).

In case you run into problems, please feel free to create Github issues. A few research groups have been able to run these experiments.

#Troubleshooting

1. If Sferes (Waf) can't find your CUDA and Caffe dynamic libraries

Add obj.libpath to the wscript for exp/images to find libcudart and libcaffe or you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Linux).

2. Is there a way to monitor the progress of the experiments?

There is a flag for printing out results (fitness + images) every N generations. You can adjust the dump_period setting here.

3. Where do I get the pre-trained Caffe models?

For AlexNet, please download on Caffe's Model Zoo. For LeNet, you can grab it here.

4. How do I run the experiments on my local machine without MPI?

You can enable MPI or non-MPI mode by commenting/uncommenting a line here. It can be simple eval::Eval (single-core), eval::Mpi (distributed for clusters).
