BlueM.Opt
BlueM.Opt | Download | Usage | Development
Description
BlueM.Opt is an optimization framework that can be coupled with an arbitrary simulation software (only current requirement: input data and results are to be stored in ASCII format). The optimization parameters, objective functions and (optionally) boundary conditions are defined in a flexible manner.
Optimization results are stored in a database.
BlueM.Opt integrates a graphing feature for displaying the optimization progress and results. Optimization results can also be analyzed in detail.
Where possible, BlueM.Opt utilizes multithreading in order to evaluate multiple parameter sets simultaneously.
List of available methods (optimization algorithms):
- PES: Parametric Evolution Strategy
- CES: Combinatorial Evolution Strategy
- HYBRID: Combination of PES and CES
- Hooke & Jeeves: Hillclimbing Algorithm
- MetaEvo: multicritera, hybrid optimization algorithm
- DDS: Dynamically Dimensioned Search
another method is
- SensiPlot: Sensitivity analysis (no optimization)
- TSP (only for Traveling Salesman)
List of currently implemented applications (simulation models):
- BlueM.Sim
- SMUSI (currently not included Bug 265)
- S::CAN
- SWMM
- Test problems
- Traveling Salesman
