to The irace package: Iterated Racing for Automatic Configuration
Hello, I have a little problem, when I run irace with a seed set twice, I get different results.
My solver, if irace gives it the same seed twice in a row, returns exactly the same result, so the problem doesn't seem to come from there.
I looked at the instances used, and irace samples exactly the same ones.
I'm using an older version of irace which doesn't remember the results of each run in the logfile (cluster version).
For the first iteration we have exactly the same results but from the second it starts to vary slightly until we have very different configurations.
I wanted to know if the generation of random configurations with the models was controlled by the seeds? And if you have any idea where this comes from?
