Running the simulator without graphical interface (GUI)?

Learn-to-Race: Autonomous Racing Virtual Challenge

I mean that when I launch the simulator with:
ArrivalSim.sh -openGL
If there is any parameter like --no_gui so that the simulator runs faster and the training can be carried out earlier.
Thank you.

From what I understand, part of what makes this challenge interesting is that the environment is real-time, and that the speed of your algorithm will change the response time of your system. Making a no-gui mode would cause problems for that realism objective.

If you’re looking to train more, perhaps try a distributed training scheme?

Yes, since the sim executes at a fixed heartbeat you can only gain so much compute without rendering the GUI.
