> By global activation limit, I assume you mean the total sum of neuron activation during one forward pass? Yes. For each candidate network I keep a counter of the total # of neuron activations. This figure is constrained by a global limit (which varies based on prior performance). We simply break out of the simulation loop once the allotted resources are exhauted. This means that more efficient networks are more likely to score higher.
