Welcome to the cloudlus wiki!

Here are a few quickstart guides for setting up the cloudlus remote execution environment, running jobs, and performing optimization:

• Setting up and using remote execution
• A simple optimization example
• A disruption hedging optimization
• Using optimization with remote execution

Optimization Documentation

The optimization tools provided are an external wrapper around Cyclus. The optimizer will run and measure the output of several different Cyclus simulations eventually converging toward "good" simulation input parameters as defined by a user-selected objective. The tooling is currently designed to operate on deployment schedules. That is, the optimizer searches for good facility deployment strategies - i.e. how many of each facility type to deploy at each time step through the entire simulation. There are a few pre-coded objective functions and optimization modes built into the tooling; new ones can be added relatively easily (although it does require writing some code).

The pages listed below detail how to specify/setup an optimization scenario, do optimization runs, understand results and modify/customize the optimization tooling.

• Scenario specification
• Running optimizations
• Analyzing results
• Adding custom objectives
• Adding custom optimization modes
• Hacking custom variables
