Trust, but Verify: Rigorously Profiling Best-Effort High-Performance Computing for Digital Evolution
Matthew Andres Moreno, Santiago Rodriguez Papa, Charles Ofria +2
Developments in high-performance computing (HPC) technology continue to drastically increase quantities of available processing power. In the context of digital evolution, this exp…
ECLIPSE: An Evolutionary Computation Library for Instrumentation Prototyping in Scientific Engineering
Max Foreback, Evan Imata, Vincent Ragusa +18
Designing scientific instrumentation often requires exploring large, highly constrained design spaces using computationally expensive physics simulations. These simulators pose sub…
Open Questions about Time and Self-reference in Living Systems
Samson Abramsky, Wolfgang Banzhaf, Leo S. D. Caves +5
Living systems exhibit a range of fundamental characteristics: they are active, self-referential, self-modifying systems. This paper explores how these characteristics create chall…
Case Study of Novelty, Complexity, and Adaptation in a Multicellular System
Matthew Andres Moreno, Santiago Rodriguez Papa, Charles Ofria
Continuing generation of novelty, complexity, and adaptation are well-established as core aspects of open-ended evolution. However, it has yet to be firmly established to what exte…
Informed Down-Sampled Lexicase Selection: Identifying productive training cases for efficient problem solving
Ryan Boldi, Martin Briesch, Dominik Sobania +5
Genetic Programming (GP) often uses large training sets and requires all individuals to be evaluated on all training cases during selection. Random down-sampled lexicase selection…
Best-Effort Communication Improves Performance and Scales Robustly on Conventional Hardware
Matthew Andres Moreno, Charles Ofria
Here, we test the performance and scalability of fully-asynchronous, best-effort communication on existing, commercially-available HPC hardware. A first set of experiments tested w…
