In this base class implementation, only a few algorithms (such as PCA, LDA, PLDA, BIC) are implemented, while most algorithms that are more specialized are provided by other packages, which are usually in the ``bob.bio`` namespace, such as:

Additionally, a generic script ``./bin/evaluate.py`` is provided that can generate several types of plots (such as ROC, DET and CMC curves) and compute several measures (such as HTER, Cllr) to evaluate your experiments.

One important property of the ``./bin/verify.py`` script is that it can run in parallel, using either several threads on the local machine, or an SGE grid.

To achieve that, ``bob.bio`` is well-integrated with our SGE grid toolkit GridTK_, which we have selected as a python package in the :ref:`Installation <installation>` section.

The ``./bin/verify.py`` script can submit jobs either to the SGE grid, or to a local scheduler, keeping track of dependencies between the jobs.

The GridTK_ keeps a list of jobs in a local database, which by default is called ``submitted.sql3``, but which can be overwritten with the ``--gridtk-database-file`` option.
