xpctl is software to track experimental results and provide access to a global leaderboard. After running an experiment, the results and the logs are committed to a database. Commands are provided to show the best experimental results under various constraints.

xpctl was developed as the primary backend for experiment storage for mead-baseline.

xpctl requires a database to be installed locally or an accessible server. We currently support: mongodb and postgresql), but the base classes can be extended to support other databases. Create a database called reporting_db in your db instance.

The client API is packaged separately with minimal requirements.

• There are 2 components: mead-xpctl-client and mead-xpctl
  • mead-xpctl-client provides the HTTP client and the addon required to run logging from inside mead-baseline
  • mead-xpctl contains the CLI and the server implementation
  • Both packages can be installed via pip:
    • pip install mead-xpctl-client
    • pip install mead-xpctl (this depends on the mead-xpctl-client)
• Install the server
