Dear Sir,

Thank you for your prompt response to my earlier query. I appreciate your assistance.

After running the command irace --check, also --debug-level 3 I received the following output(attached in file)

I would like to understand what this output means. If there is an issue indicated by this result, kindly guide me on how to resolve it. Any additional steps or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again for your support. I look forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Jyoti Nainani

Hi Jyoti,

I am not sure if this is the issue, but I see in the output that you have:

instances = c("/home/jyoti/tuning/Instances/2000-1.tsp", "/home/jyoti/tuning/Instances/irace.Rdata")

which means that you have a file "irace.Rdata" in your "Instances" folder. This may cause some problems as irace will try to write to the file but the target-runner will try to read it as an instance to the problem.

It also says:

execDir = "/home/jyoti/tuning/Instances"

which is wrong, because irace will create temporary files in this folder, and those files may then be interpreted as instances. You want the execDir to be "." or some temporary folder like "./execdir".

Best wishes,

Manuel.
