NumBBO/CoCO Framework in Java (Experimental Part)

Before you start, be aware that compiling native code for Java using JNI is clunky at best. We will be using cmake and the included CMakeLists.txt. This is not the only option, you can also manually build the included Java and C files. That however is outside the scope of this document.

Build using cmake

Configure the build using cmake:

cmake -B build .

Build Classes and native library

cmake --build build

You should now have a coco.jar and libCocoJNI.so or CocoJNI.dll in the build/ subdirectory. You need both to run the experiment!

Calling

java -classpath build/coco.jar -Djava.library.path=build/ ExampleExperiment

will run the experiment and write the results into exdata/.

Details

Content of the build/java folder

This folder contains necessary source files to generate the shared library for calling coco C funtions and an example of testing a java optimizer on the coco benchmark

Files:

  • CocoJNI.java: class declaring native methods (methods that have to be written in C and that will call C functions of coco.c)
  • CocoJNI.h & CocoJNI.c: files defining native methods in CocoJNI.java. These two files will be used to generate the shared library
  • Benchmark.java, Problem.java, Suite.java, Observer.java: Java classes Benchmark, Problem, Suite, Observer
  • ExampleExperiment.java: defines an optimizer and tests it on the coco benchmark
