Here is how to reproduce:

  • sep-aCMA-ES run in 100-D
./test_functions -fname fsphere -alg sepacmaes -ftarget 1e-8 -dim 10
  • sep-aCMA-ES run in 100-D with gradient injection (problem is here):
./test_functions -fname fsphere -alg sepacmaes -ftarget 1e-8 -dim 100 -with_gradient

this yields something similar to:

INFO - stopping criteria stagnation => oldmedianfvalue=512.312040743035 / newmedianfvalue=583.127653408428
  • fix by deactivating stagnation criteria:
./test_functions -fname fsphere -alg sepacmaes -ftarget 1e-8 -dim 100 -with_gradient -no_stagnation

The fix is obvious while the underlying reason of the problem is less clear. This probably needs to be investigated.
