Parameters ---------- client_fn : Callable[[str], ClientLike] A function creating client instances. The function must take a single `str` argument called `cid`. It should return a single client instance of type ClientLike. 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 : Optional[int] The total number of clients in this simulation. This must be set if `clients_ids` is not set and vice-versa. clients_ids : Optional[List[str]] 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. client_resources : Optional[Dict[str, float]] (default: None) CPU and GPU resources for a single client. Supported keys are `num_cpus` and `num_gpus`. Example: `{"num_cpus": 4, "num_gpus": 1}`. To understand the GPU utilization caused by `num_gpus`, consult the Ray documentation on GPU support. 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`. Returns ------- hist : flwr.server.history.History Object containing metrics from training.
