Publisher review:Genetic Algorithm File Fitter (gaffitter) is a command-line software written in C that extracts subsets of an input list of files that best fit the given volume size , such as CD, DVD and others. Genetic Algorithm File Fitter (gaffitter) is a command-line software written in C that extracts --via Genetic Algorithm-- subsets of an input list of files/directories that best fit the given volume size (target), such as CD, DVD and others. It is initially designed to run under Linux and POSIX systems, but is easily portable to non-POSIX operating environment.
Using GA search, gaffitter improve different combinations of the files on the list so that the lost of space will be minimized. Ideal to be used for backups/records in CD, DVD and others.
GAFFitter provides an intelligent manner (due to Genetic Algorithm) to minimize the error between the desired target size and the selected candidates of files/directories.
GAFFitter highlights:
- Uses a global meta-heuristic (Genetic Algorithm search).
- The command-line interface provides high integration (via pipe) with other tools, i.e. it works as a "filter".
- Allows the user to enter 'size identifier' pairs directly instead of file/dir names.
- GAFFitter has many input parameters to control/adjust its behavior (including GA params).
Genetic Algorithm File Fitter is a C/C++ script for File Management scripts design by Douglas Augusto.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
