public class GenerationSwitchPipeline extends BreedingPipeline
Important Note: Because GenerationSwitchPipeline gets the generation number from the EvolutionState, and this number is not protected by a mutex, if you create an EvolutionState or Breeder which uses multiple threads that can update the generation number as they like, you could cause a race condition. This doesn't occur with the present EvolutionState objects provided with ECJ, but you should be aware of the possibility.
Typical Number of Individuals Produced Per produce(...) call
Defined as the max of its children's responses.
Number of Sources
2
Parameters
base.generate-max bool = true (default) or false |
(Each time produce(...) is called, should the GenerationSwitchPipeline force all its sources to produce exactly the same number of individuals as the largest typical number of individuals produced by any source in the group?) |
base.switch-at int >= 0 |
(The generation we will switch at) |

produce(int min,

int subpopulation,
java.util.ArrayList<Individual> inds,
EvolutionState state,
int thread,
java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> misc)
Produces n individuals from the given subpopulation
and puts them into inds[start...start+n-1],
where n = Min(Max(q,min),max), where q is the "typical" number of
individuals the BreedingSource produces in one shot, and returns
n.

BreedingSource
The most common modification is to normalize it with some other set of probabilities, then set all of them up in increasing summation; this allows the use of the fast static BreedingSource-picking utility method, BreedingSource.pickRandom(...). In order to use this method, for example, if four breeding source probabilities are {0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.4}, then they should get normalized and summed by the outside owners as: {0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0}.
