Hi,
Has anyone performed any benchmarking on lazy vs. unlazy
Evaluation(s)
Someone did:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1128
or is there some obvious criteria on when to use one vs.
the other? I only see getResiduals() being called once in the
optimize() method right after a new evaluation is created:
current = problem.evaluate(new
ArrayRealVector(currentPoint));
currentResiduals =
current.getResiduals().toArray();
Thoughts?
The problem is "getJacobian()", called only in the outer loop.
Method "evaluate" is also called in an inner loop where only
the residuals are used.
So if the optimizer is supplied with individual function
implementations that are called to calculate residuals and the
jacobian matrix 'on demand / when needed' then the question of
whether
to use a lazy evaluation vs. the regular evaluation goes away (I
think
without any drawbacks)?
The two functions were separate in the previous design, then grouped
in the current one because it was reported that it is often is the case
that both are computed at the same time.
So the grouping was deemed a simplification. It is, but for use-cases
where they are not computed together and the objective function is
costly,
performance can suffer badly (i.e. not just milliseconds...).
