Simion Zoo: A Workbench for Distributed Experimentation with Reinforcement Learning for Continuous Control Tasks

We present Simion Zoo, a Reinforcement Learning (RL) workbench that provides a complete set of tools to design, run, and analyze the results,both statistically and visually, of RL control applications. The main features that set apart Simion Zoo from similar software packages are its easy-to-use GUI, its support for distributed execution including deployment over graphics processing units (GPUs) , and the possibility to explore concurrently the RL metaparameter space, which is key to successful RL experimentation.
