Overview

Polyaxon mapping is an automation tool to apply a list of parameters combination to a component sequentially or in parallel following a concurrency.

When a mapping is defined a pipeline is created to watch the generated executions and manage their lifecycle and concurrency. Because the mapping generates a pipeline, the pipeline helpers can be used for managing concurrency, early stopping, caching, …

Use cases

Polyaxon Mapping can be used to:

  • Run a component in parallel using a user defined list of parameters
  • Train a machine learning model using an external optimization and suggestion service
  • Leverage a map/reduce style pattern
