Testing has been going steady on Newton (hence the image of Sir Isaac Newton in the last post) for a week now. The results of computations on the cloud end are promising: barring bad requests the best individuals come out of the calculations with fitness scores in the 2-3 hundreds (read: good). On Heroku, the runtime for a set of 10 concurrent GAs is ~1430s; on GAE, that time is closer to 900s.
We had to back of from testing on the Walter, the lab's Raspberry Pi, because he, sadly, cannot create enough forked processes to handle the GA. Attempts on the mystery third client IaaS were also largely squashed due to resource constraints, so we have moved to a different IaaS, and testing has commenced there.
