Levels of Detail
There are six levels of detail and pauses for reporting:
0. NONE generates no output per algorithm and does not halt the algorithm execution. This level is used when maximum execution speed and minimal reporting is desired.
1. DATABASE generates one line of strictly numerical output per algorithm. No titles or headers are included. This level is primarily used to create a data base file, which can then be manipulated in a spreadsheet or statistical analysis program.
2. SUMMARY displays the total cost plus the algorithm run time. It is useful if you is only interested in the final results. This level of output should be used if you is interested in performing timing studies. Higher level of details corrupt timing results due to user interaction delays and graphics creation delays.
3. STANDARD generates the total cost for each of the algorithm components. The program runs without interruption until the complete algorithm is finished. If you have selected ALL, then the program runs uninterrupted for the 18 different combinations.
4. EXTENDED displays the total cost during each of the algorithm modules and the run time so far. The program halts frequently to allow you to observe the algorithm process.
5. DEVELOP generates extremely detailed output plus a very large number of intermediate results. This mode is only useful for debugging purposes or to observe the most detailed workings of the algorithms. The output is extremely long for large problems.
