VRPTWController

VRPTWController is used to run and calculate score for the 12th DIMACS Implementation Challenge: VRPTW track. Specified in Competition Rules.

Installation

Linux, MacOS & OpenBSD:

git clone https://github.com/laser-ufpb/VRPTWController
cd VRPTWController
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Testing the Controller with a dummy solver:

make test

The output will be at build/ as DIMACS-VRPTW-Dummy-R108.out.

Usage example

How to run:

./VRPTWController <Competitor ID> <Instance path> <CPU mark> <Time limit> <Instance BKS> <If BKS is optimal [0/1]> <Path to solver>

Example:

./VRPTWController Wolverine R108.txt 2064 1800 932.1 1 Solver1

How to run the instances:

Generating the script:

sh genScript1.sh <Competitor ID> <CPU mark> <Solver path> > VRPTW-Script1.sh

Running the instances:

sh VRPTW-Script1.sh

to run all the instances, you also have to run the scripts genScript2.sh and genScript3.sh.

Example:

sh genScript1.sh Wolverine 2064 Solver1 > VRPTW-Script1.sh
sh VRPTW-Script1.sh

For more examples and usage, please refer to the Competition Rules.

How to call the solver indirectly via shell script

Suppose a file named solver has the following content:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
./real-solver $1 $2 

Therefore, you can use solver (after calling chmod +x solver) instead of the original executable file real-solver (which could have other command-line arguments in addition to the two defined in the challenge rules).
