GlobalSearch-rs

Feature flags

Feature flags allow you to enable different features of the crate. They are defined in the Cargo.toml file of the crate you are using. The feature flags are defined using the features keyword of the Cargo.toml file.

Available feature flags

The following feature flags are available for the globalsearch-rs crate:

  • rayon: Enables parallel execution of the scatter search phase using Rayon. In debug builds or low workload scenarios, the overhead of thread management might reduce performance. For production builds, consider benchmarking with and without rayon. This feature is disabled by default.
  • progress_bar: Adds a progress bar using the kdam crate to visualize algorithm progress. Recommended for large-scale problems. It is recommended that you disable the verbose output of OQNLP since it uses the println! macro, which interferes with the display of the progress bar. This feature is disabled by default.

Example

[dependencies]
globalsearch = { version = "0.2.0", features = ["rayon"] }

In the example above, the rayon feature flag is enabled for the globalsearch-rs crate. This will enable the rayon feature of the crate.
