public interface Termination
extends PhaseLifecycleListener

A Termination determines when a Solver or a Phase should stop.

An implementation must extend AbstractTermination to ensure backwards compatibility in future versions.

Method Detail

isSolverTerminated

boolean isSolverTerminated(DefaultSolverScope solverScope)

Called by the Solver after every phase to determine if the search should stop.

Parameters:

solverScope - never null

Returns:

true if the search should terminate.

isPhaseTerminated

boolean isPhaseTerminated(AbstractPhaseScope phaseScope)

Called by the Phase after every step and every move to determine if the search should stop.

Parameters:

phaseScope - never null

Returns:

true if the search should terminate.

calculateSolverTimeGradient

double calculateSolverTimeGradient(DefaultSolverScope solverScope)

A timeGradient is a relative estimate of how long the search will continue.

Clients that use a timeGradient should cache it at the start of a single step because some implementations are not time-stable.

If a timeGradient can not be calculated, it should return -1.0. Several implementations (such a SimulatedAnnealingAcceptor) require a correctly implemented timeGradient.

A Termination's timeGradient can be requested after they are terminated, so implementations should be careful not to return a timeGradient above 1.0.

Parameters:

solverScope - never null

Returns:

timeGradient t for which 0.0 <= t <= 1.0 or -1.0 when it is not supported. At the start of a solver t is 0.0 and at the end t would be 1.0.

calculatePhaseTimeGradient

double calculatePhaseTimeGradient(AbstractPhaseScope phaseScope)

See calculateSolverTimeGradient(DefaultSolverScope).

Parameters:

phaseScope - never null

Returns:

timeGradient t for which 0.0 <= t <= 1.0 or -1.0 when it is not supported. At the start of a phase t is 0.0 and at the end t would be 1.0.
