Experiment is no longer actively maintained. For improved functionality, please use Run instead.
To create an experiment, first specify a few options such as cluster, resource, image, and start command. Here is an explanation of the config options.
You can run your experiment on either VESSL’s managed cluster or your custom cluster. Start by selecting a cluster.
Once you selected VESSL’s managed cluster, you can view a list of available resources under the dropdown menu. You also have an option to use spot instances.Check out the full list of resource types and corresponding prices:
Specify the start command in the experiment container. Write a running script with command-line arguments just as you are using a terminal. You can put multiple commands by using the && command or a new line separation.
You can set hyperparameters as key-value pairs. The given hyperparameters are automatically added to the container as environment variables with the given key and value. A typical experiment will include hyperparameters like learning_rate and optimizer. You can also use them at runtime by appending them to the start command as follows.
Checking the termination protection option puts experiments in idle once it completes running, so you to access the container of a finished experiment.
