Run vessl sweep --help to view the list of commands, or vessl sweep [COMMAND] --help to view individual command instructions.

​
Create a sweep

vessl sweep create [OPTIONS]
OptionDescription
-T, --objective-typeminimize or maximize
-G, --objective-goal

Objective goal ex. 0.99

-M, --objective-metric

Objective metric ex. val_accuracy

--num-experimentsMaximum number of experiments
--num-parallelNumber of experiments to be run in parallel
--num-failedMaximum number of experiments to allow to fail
-a, --algorithmgrid, random, or bayesian
-p, --parameter (multiple)

Search space parameters in the form of [name] [type] [range_type] [values…]. [type] must be one of categorical, int, or double. [range_type] must be either space or list. If space, [values…] is a 3-tuple of [min] [max] [step]. If list , [values…] is a list of values to search.

ex. -p epochs int space 100 1000 50

-c, --clusterCluster name (must be specified before other options)
-x, --commandStart command to execute in experiment container
-r, --resourceResource type to run an experiment (for managed cluster only)
--processorCPU or GPU (for custom cluster only)
--cpu-limitNumber of vCPUs (for custom cluster only)
--memory-limitMemory limit in GiB (for custom cluster only)
--gpu-type

GPU type (for custom cluster only)

ex. Tesla-K80

--gpu-limitNumber of GPU cores (for custom cluster only)
-i, --image-url

--early-stopping-nameEarly stopping algorithm name
--early-stopping-settings

Early stopping algorithm settings in the format of [key] [value]ex. —early-stopping-settings start_step 4

--messageMessage
-h, --hyperparameter (multiple)

Hyperparameters in the form of [key]=[value]

ex. -h lr=0.01 -h epochs=100

--dataset (multiple)

Dataset mounts in the form of [mount_path] [dataset_name]

ex. —dataset /input mnist
