Stochastic Benchmarking Software

Repository for Stochastic Optimization Solvers Benchmark implementation of the Window Sticker framework. The benchmarking approach is described in Benchmarking the Operation of Quantum Heuristics and Ising Machines: Scoring Parameter Setting Strategies on Optimization Applications.

The Stochastic Benchmark open source package answers how a parameter-setting strategy is expected to perform on unseen instances from that family. Per-instance repeat-count reliability asks whether each solver, parameter setting, and resource level has enough repeated stochastic runs to support its own success probability, repeat count, and time-to-solution estimates. Papers employing the package include: introduction paper, QAOA benchmarks 1, and QAOA benchmarks 2.
