Compiling and running BBOB'2013 benchmark

The BBOB'2013 benchmark measures the efficiency of the optimization procedures on a series of functions in many dimensions. libcmaes has support for the benchmark and ranks among the best algorithms.

There's an install script in the repository. Do:

cd tests
./bbobsetup.sh

you can now benchmark any of the implemented flavors of CMA-ES (beware, this make take a while, ~hours):

./bbobexperiment -alg bipop

for the command above, results will be in repository bipop_bbob

See (1) for more information and details.
