Experiment Management

An experiment can be created with command line tool nnictl or python APIs. NNI provides both command line tool nnictl and web Portal to manage the experiments, such as, creating, stopping, resuming, deleting, ranking, and comparing the experiments.

Management with nnictl

The ability of nnictl on experiment management is almost equivalent to Web Portal. Users can refer to nnictl Commands for detailed usage. It is highly suggested when visualization is not well supported in your environment (e.g., web browser is not supported in your environment).

Management with web portal

Experiment management on web potral gives an quick overview of all the experiment on users’ machine. Users can easily switch to one experiment from this page. Users can refer to the Experiments management page for details. The experiment management on web portal is still under intensive development to bring more user-friendly features.
