This repository contains hyperlinks to redirect the reader to the source code of each chapter from the thesis [Parallel hyperparameter optimization of spiking neural networks](https://theses.fr/s327519).
The experiments were designed for the [Grid'5000](http://www.idris.fr/jean-zay/jean-zay-presentation.html) using [OAR](https://oar.readthedocs.io/en/2.5/) and [OpenMPI](), on a distributed GPU partition.

The `HOSTFILE` contains the addresses of the nodes. The `RANKFILE` contains the mapping between processes and nodes, the processes 0 is dedicated to the master process running the optimization algorithm on a dedicated GPU.
