[Bldg-sim] GenOpt 3.0.0 beta2 released

[Michael Wetter]

Dear Building Simulation Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of GenOpt 3.0.0 beta2.

GenOpt is an optimization program for the minimization of a cost 
function, such as annual energy use, that is evaluated by a simulation 
program, such as EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, IDA, DOE-2, or any simulation 
program with text-based input and output. GenOpt can also be used to 
automate parametric studies.

GenOpt 3.0.0 will run multiple simulations in parallel. Depending on the 
number of processors that your computer has, GenOpt may start multiple 
simulations simultaneously in order to reduce the computing time for an 
optimization or a parametric study.

Your sincerely,

Michael Wetter
