MARO LOGO

Multi-Agent Resource Optimization (MARO) platform is an instance of Reinforcement learning as a Service (RaaS) for real-world resource optimization. It can be applied to many important industrial domains, such as container inventory management in logistics, bike repositioning in transportation, virtual machine provisioning in data centers, and asset management in finance. Besides Reinforcement Learning (RL), it also supports other planning/decision mechanisms, such as Operations Research.

Key Components of MARO:

  • Simulation toolkit: it provides some predefined scenarios, and the reusable wheels for building new scenarios.
  • RL toolkit: it provides a full-stack abstraction for RL, such as agent manager, agent, RL algorithms, learner, actor, and various shapers.
  • Distributed toolkit: it provides distributed communication components, interface of user-defined functions for message auto-handling, cluster provision, and job orchestration.

Install MARO from PyPI

Notes: The CLI commands (including the visualization tool) are not included in pymaro package. To enable these support, you need to install from source.

  • Mac OS / Linux

    pip install pymaro
  • Windows

    # Install torch first, if you don't have one.
    pip install torch===1.6.0 torchvision===0.7.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
    
    pip install pymaro

Install MARO from Source

Notes: Install from source if you want to use the CLI commands (including the visualization tool).

  • Prerequisites

  • Enable Virtual Environment

    • Mac OS / Linux

      # If your environment is not clean, create a virtual environment firstly.
      python -m venv maro_venv
      source ./maro_venv/bin/activate
    • Windows

      # If your environment is not clean, create a virtual environment firstly.
      python -m venv maro_venv
      
      # You may need this for SecurityError in PowerShell.
      Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
      
      # Activate the virtual environment.
      .\maro_venv\Scripts\activate
  • Install MARO

    # Git Clone the whole source code.
    git clone https://github.com/microsoft/maro.git
    • Mac OS / Linux

      # Install MARO from source.
      bash scripts/install_maro.sh;
      pip install -r ./requirements.dev.txt;
    • Windows

      # Install MARO from source.
      .\scripts\install_maro.bat;
      pip install -r ./requirements.dev.txt;
  • Notes: If your package is not found, remember to set your PYTHONPATH

    • Mac OS / Linux
    export PYTHONPATH=PATH-TO-MARO
    • Windows
    $Env:PYTHONPATH=PATH-TO-MARO

Quick Example

from maro.simulator import Env

env = Env(scenario="cim", topology="toy.5p_ssddd_l0.0", start_tick=0, durations=100)

metrics, decision_event, is_done = env.step(None)

while not is_done:
    metrics, decision_event, is_done = env.step(None)

print(f"environment metrics: {env.metrics}")
# Enable environment dump feature, when initializing the environment instance
env = Env(scenario="cim",
          topology="toy.5p_ssddd_l0.0",
          start_tick=0,
          durations=100,
          options={"enable-dump-snapshot": "./dump_data"})

# Inspect environment with the dump data
maro inspector dashboard --source_path ./dump_data/YOUR_SNAPSHOT_DUMP_FOLDER
