Warning
-------
This function is deprecated since 1.13.0. Use :code: `flwr run` to start a Flower
simulation.
Parameters
----------
client_fn : ClientFnExt
A function creating `Client` instances. The function must have the signature
`client_fn(context: Context). It should return
a single client instance of type `Client`. Note that the created client
instances are ephemeral and will often be destroyed after a single method
invocation. Since client instances are not long-lived, they should not attempt
to carry state over method invocations. Any state required by the instance
(model, dataset, hyperparameters, ...) should be (re-)created in either the
call to `client_fn` or the call to any of the client methods (e.g., load
evaluation data in the `evaluate` method itself).
num_clients : int
The total number of clients in this simulation.
clients_ids : Optional[List[str]]
UNSUPPORTED, WILL BE REMOVED. USE `num_clients` INSTEAD.
List `client_id`s for each client. This is only required if
`num_clients` is not set. Setting both `num_clients` and `clients_ids`
with `len(clients_ids)` not equal to `num_clients` generates an error.
Using this argument will raise an error.
client_resources : Optional[Dict[str, float]] (default: `{"num_cpus": 1, "num_gpus": 0.0}`)
CPU and GPU resources for a single client. Supported keys
are `num_cpus` and `num_gpus`. To understand the GPU utilization caused by
`num_gpus`, as well as using custom resources, please consult the Ray
documentation.
server : Optional[flwr.server.Server] (default: None).
An implementation of the abstract base class `flwr.server.Server`. If no
instance is provided, then `start_server` will create one.
config: ServerConfig (default: None).
Currently supported values are `num_rounds` (int, default: 1) and
`round_timeout` in seconds (float, default: None).
strategy : Optional[flwr.server.Strategy] (default: None)
An implementation of the abstract base class `flwr.server.Strategy`. If
no strategy is provided, then `start_server` will use
`flwr.server.strategy.FedAvg`.
client_manager : Optional[flwr.server.ClientManager] (default: None)
An implementation of the abstract base class `flwr.server.ClientManager`.
If no implementation is provided, then `start_simulation` will use
`flwr.server.client_manager.SimpleClientManager`.
ray_init_args : Optional[Dict[str, Any]] (default: None)
Optional dictionary containing arguments for the call to `ray.init`.
If ray_init_args is None (the default), Ray will be initialized with
the following default args:
{ "ignore_reinit_error": True, "include_dashboard": False }
An empty dictionary can be used (ray_init_args={}) to prevent any
arguments from being passed to ray.init.
keep_initialised: Optional[bool] (default: False)
Set to True to prevent `ray.shutdown()` in case `ray.is_initialized()=True`.
actor_type: VirtualClientEngineActor (default: ClientAppActor)
Optionally specify the type of actor to use. The actor object, which
persists throughout the simulation, will be the process in charge of
executing a ClientApp wrapping input argument `client_fn`.
actor_kwargs: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] (default: None)
If you want to create your own Actor classes, you might need to pass
some input argument. You can use this dictionary for such purpose.
actor_scheduling: Optional[Union[str, NodeAffinitySchedulingStrategy]]
(default: "DEFAULT")
Optional string ("DEFAULT" or "SPREAD") for the VCE to choose in which
node the actor is placed. If you are an advanced user needed more control
you can use lower-level scheduling strategies to pin actors to specific
compute nodes (e.g. via NodeAffinitySchedulingStrategy). Please note this
is an advanced feature. For all details, please refer to the Ray documentation:
https://docs.ray.io/en/latest/ray-core/scheduling/index.html
