An article on Uber Engineering Blog describing POET can be found here.

Requirements

• ipyparallel
• OpenAI Gym

Run the code locally

To run locally on a multicore machine

1. On one terminal window

ipcluster start -n NUM_WORKERS

2. Wait until you see:

[IPClusterStart] Engines appear to have started successfully

3. On another terminal window:

./run_poet_local.sh final_test

Run the code over the cluster

This requires set up ipyparallel over the cluster of machines, please refer to IpyParallel Documentation.
