## Cycles per iteration
|
| 60 |
+
|
| 61 |
+
Each cycle considers every 10-equation subsample (re-sampled for each individual 10,
|
| 62 |
+
unless `fast_cycle` is set in which case the subsamples are separate groups of equations)
|
| 63 |
+
a single time, producing one mutated equation for each.
|
| 64 |
+
The parameter `ncyclesperiteration` defines how many times this
|
| 65 |
+
occurs before the equations are compared to the hall of fame,
|
| 66 |
+
and new equations are migrated from the hall of fame, or from other populations.
|
| 67 |
+
It also controls how slowly annealing occurs. You may find that increasing
|
| 68 |
+
`ncyclesperiteration` results in a higher cycles-per-second, as the head
|
| 69 |
+
worker needs to reduce and distribute new equations less often, and also increases
|
| 70 |
+
diversity. But at the same
|
| 71 |
+
time, a smaller number it might be that migrating equations from the hall of fame helps
|
| 72 |
+
each population stay closer to the best current equations.
