What your program needs to be like:
It needs to be able to run on Taurus on your account
It needs to accept it's hyperparameters by command line parameters (for example via sys.argv)
The result needs to be printed in Stdout like RESULT: 0.123456
Anything in the STRING: FLOAT-Format will be saved in the DB and can be output to a CSV file via bash dostuff.sh
A lower RESULT must mean that it's somehow better, i.e. the area where lower results are are researched more
Make sure your programs can be run from any Working Directory, as it's problable that the CWD will not be the same as the directory your program runs in
Make sure your program runs on the architecture of the partition you chose
Check this tutorial for creating a run.sh-file for your script.
