Overview

About

Maintained by Andreas Geyer-SchulzCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Implements asynchronous message-passing communication protocols for island models of extended and evolutionary algorithms (see Tomassini, Marco (2005, ISBN:978-3-540-24193-5)) for the R-package 'xega' https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=xega. Basic asynchronous as well as synchronized communication primitives are supplied based on file I/O operations ('rds') on a shared file system or by 'openMPI' (MPI) messages. The gene selection and replacement strategies, the migration policy as well as the communication topology between islands are configurable. Homogeneous and heterogeneous island algorithms are supported. For examples (R and shell-scripts), see https://github.com/ageyerschulz/xega/tree/main/examples/IslandModels.

Changes in 0.5.0.4

Function torus3DTop added.
xegaCommunicationTopology: torus3DTop added.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("xegaMigration", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ageyerschulz/xegaMigration")

Development version from ageyerschulz/xegaMigration. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-xegamigration

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-xegaMigration

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-xegaMigration

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
