MicroGP (µGP, ugp) is an evolutionary tool created around 2001. Over the years it has been exploited as a coverage-driven fuzzer, as a general-purpose optimizer, and as a framework for prototyping and testing new ideas. Some hundreds documents discussing it and possible application can be found in the scientific literature. [read more]
⚠️ MicroGP4 v1.0 is currently in pre-alpha and under active development
This repo is only useful if you want to hack the code (see: CONTRIBUTING).
For using MicroGP4 read the instructions.
- The default branch is always the more stable
- Do not clone experimental branches
exp/*unless you know what you are doing - Follow the style guide
- It may be wise to contact Alberto or Giovanni
- The documentation for MicroGP4 is on https://microgp4.readthedocs.io/
- The documentation for MicroGP3 (v3.1 "Bluebell"), together with the old design rationale, can be found in the book Evolutionary Optimization: the µGP toolkit, Springer Science & Business Media (2011), 10.1007/978-0-387-09426-7
