CAVE stands for Configuration Visualization, Assessment and Evaluation. It is a versatile analysis tool for automatic algorithm configurators. It generates comprehensive reports (e.g. http://ml.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~biedenka/cave.html) that give you insights into the configured algorithm, the used instance set and also the configuration tool itself. The current version works out-of-the-box with SMAC3, but can be easily adapted to other configurators, as CAVE supports CSV files as input.
