how to specify number of episodes #72

Hello,

can you tell me how and where do I specify the number of episodes to run for?

time python3 -m baselines_energyplus.trpo_mpi.run_energyplus --num-timesteps 1000000000 when I run the above command, it keeps on running for innumerable episodes, I ran it for 237 episodes, and I quit the code, but I suspect it would've continued for more episodes had I not stopped.

is there a specific python file, and a proper function in that file, that specifies the no of episodes to run for?

Hi,

An episode is typically 35040 steps long (one step every 15 minutes and there are 35040 quarter hours in a (non-leap) year), you can multiply the number of episodes by this number if you want the number of steps to train the model.
