Running ParSA
This page will serve as a progress report for the weekly work done on running the ParSA algorithm. Plots of cost function versus step number and the parameters used will be included for each completed run.
Week of 21 January 2008
The goal of the first run was to ensure that the MIR scheduler and solver would be able to successfully complete an entire run.
The parameters used for this run are as follows:
