Abstract

Large-scale software experiments are a ubiquitous feature of research. For example, performance evaluation of algorithms implies testing said algorithms on a large number of test cases. We provide a software framework which helps performing experiments on large parameter spaces, benefits from multi-core architectures, and saves generated results in a machine-readable format for future post-processing.
