Detailed Description

template<typename PointType, typename ResultT>
class shark::EvaluationArchive< PointType, ResultT >

Objective function wrapper storing all function evaluations.

Template Parameters

PointType	The search space the function is defined upon.
ResultT	The objective space the function is defined upon.

: The EvaluationArchive class serves as an archive of all evaluated points and the corresponding result. It can be used transparently instead of the original objective function, e.g., by an optimizer. Point/result pairs are added to the archive only if the specific combination is not yet stored.

: For fast-to-evaluate objective functions the archive wrapper can be a considerable performance killer. However, whenever function evaluations are costly (and an archive makes sense) then the storage and maintenance overhead should be negligible.
