If I run an algorithm in an environment (ELKI) and want to measure the time, how can I do that? - Make a script? -let that run 10 seconds and press the run button in the environment to run the algorithm - and subtract the 10 seconds. - or maybe I can make a script that interacts with ELKI and knows when I press the run algorithm-button (But I can't see how) - How do one usually write a script? In what language? Can you link to a page, where I can learn it? Bash-script? Perl? Python?
Thanks for any respond.
Use the -time option. Do not enable -verbose as this will usually slow down the process due to output of progress logging. You may also want to set -resulthandler DiscardResultHandler.
ELKI also has a command line mode for scripting. The logging window always shows a command line parameters you have set.
