B. Code mainbody:

1. newSimulate.py
2. newENV.py
3. newDDPG.py

The code is run under Pytorch:1.8.0.dev20201027 and Python 3.8.5.

C. Dependency:

1. newSimulate.py <- newENV.py
2. newSimulate.py <- newDDPG.py

D. Standard model training and evaluation procedure:(run newSimulate.py)

1. Train model using trainModel()
2. Evaluate trained model using evaluateModel()
3. plot evaluation result using plotHistory(), the function can plot EE/HR/TP/Psys/MCAP/MCCPU
4. plot policy sampled in evaluation phase using plot_UE_BS_distribution_Cache()

E. Generate arbitrary topology:
In newENV(), declare class BS by set parameter loadENV=False. For example,

env = BS(nBS=10,nUE=5,nMaxLink=3,nFile=20,nMaxCache=2,loadENV = False,SEED=0,obsIdx=1)

It will produce a new topology in data/10.5.20.2/Topology in pkl form and png preview

F. Derve Brute Force (BF) result (Direct example)
In newENV(), run

env=BS(nBS=10,nUE=5,nMaxLink=nMaxLink,nFile=20,nMaxCache=2,loadENV = True,SEED=0)
env.getOptEE_BF(isSave=True)
