A matlab library folder is also included for the optional use of Matlab for prime checking

• Note 1: A MATLAB installation is required in order to use this option.
• Note 2: set use_matlab option to TRUE in controller.py to use this option
• Note 3: None of the code under the matlab folder was written by me. It is simply included as a thrid party library for program completeness.

• 1 - List the details for each experiement to run in the spreadsheet "experiment_list.xlsx"
• 2 - Save and close the "experiment_list.xlsx" spreadsheet
• 3 - Run the program as follows:
  • a - on a Windows machine simply double click the batch file "1-RUN_EXPERIMENTS.bat"
  • b - on a non Windows machine, execute the command "python controller.py"

The program generates a text file "experiment-id.txt" for each experiment specified. Note: Ensure that each experiment is assigned a unique id
