Setting up the CBP-4 infrastructure and simulating the given predictors

• The download file and setting-up instruction for CBP-4 Kit is available at site : http://www.jilp.org/cbp2014/framework.html
• There are predictor.cc and predictor.h files in all three directories - gshare, perceptron, and piecewise_linear.
• For simulating the given predictors, you'll need to replace the predictor.cc and predictor.h file in cbp2014/sim/ directory by those from the directory of the required predictor.
• In cbp2014/sim/ direcory execute : rm *.o and rm predictor followed by make. This will create the executable of the required predictor.
• After this, for running the predictors and generating results, the instructions given on the CBP-4 site should be followed.

Changing the budgets for the predictors

• The storage budgets for the both the predictors can be changed in respective .h files by changing the #define Budget 4 line.
• The budgets for the perceptron predictor can be set to 4 or 8 or 32.
• The budgets for the piece-wise linear predictor can be set to 4 or 8 or 32 or 256.
• All the above budgets represent the budget in KB.
• The required calculations as per the budget for different parameters have been shown in comments alongside the initializations of the parameters.
• The included gshare directory is the one provided by default with the cbp2014 kit.
