# name constructed from the IP address and startup time of the

# Specifies the mode the slave runs in.  If false, the slave runs in
# 'regular' mode where it just evaluates the individuals and returns
# either the fitnesses or the whole individuals.  If true, the slave
# runs in 'evolve' mode, where it evaluates the individuals, but then
# if there's extra time (see next parameter), it will treat the individuals
# as its own mini-population and do some evolution on that population
# according to the evolution parameters you provided the slave.  When
# the time is up, it then returns the entire individuals.
#
# You want to make sure that if you set this to true, then the mini-population
# on the slave is sufficiently large to support its own evolution.
# The population size is specified by eval.master-problem.job-size
# on the Master.

# Slave rather than just returning Fitnesses, plus whether or not the
# Individual was evaluated.  Returning a whole Individual is expensive
# over the network and should only be done if, for some reason, your
# Problem class modified the Individuals as it evaluates them.
