GenOpt(R) 1.1 beta has been released. GenOpt is a generic optimization
program developed by the Simulation Research Group at LBNL.
It is designed for minimization of a so-called objective function, such
as annual energy use, that is computed by an external simulation
program.
GenOpt can automatically determine the values of user-selected system
parameters such that optimal system performance is achieved. It can also
identify unknown parameters in a data-fitting process.
By modifying a configuration file, users can easily couple any external
program (like DOE-2, SPARK, BLAST, EnergyPlus, TRACE, TRNSYS, or any
user-written program with text-based input/output) to compute the
function being minimized.
GenOpt also offers an interface for implementing own optimization
algorithms in its library.
