Abstract

We benchmark the Covariance Matrix Adaptation-Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) algorithm with an Increasing POPulation size (IPOP) restart policy on the BBOB noiseless testbed. The IPOP-CMA-ES is compared to the BIPOP-CMA-ES and is shown to perform at best two times faster on multi-modal functions f15 to f19 whereas it does not solve weakly structured functions f22, f23 and f24.
