Title : **Technical assistance on using Runner in # machines**
with [[groupe-dfo-bbo:acteurs:assorec:christophe-tribes:main-page|Christophe Tribes]]. Also [[groupe-dfo-bbo:acteurs:intern:wail-tahmaoui:main-page|Waïl Tahmaoui]] and Edoh.
  * Solving library path issues used by Runner (static → dynamic paths adequate to linux 7 & 8). 
  * I managed thanks to Edoh to run tests on multiple machines without taking the burden to separate manually problems selection.
  * Changing parameters/enabling a block of the code in Speculative Search (src files) leads to recompiling Nomad. For testing with Runner, it is better to add flag/double params in src file, compile once & for all.
  * Previous benchmarks of MADS w/out Speculative search shows poor performance of this option. That is because of NM & Quad searches which are powerful tools and thus hinder the true performance of Speculative search.
  * To plot performance profiles, need to enable/complete code in Runner src files.

  ToDo:
  * Conducting sensitivity analysis of MADS to the Speculative Search parameters (BASEFACTOR, SEARCHMAX).
  * Maybe, documenting tests on # machines with mpirun.
