PyGMO, V1.0.0 is released!
Metaheuristics meets science

28 November 2011 The open source PaGMO/PyGMO scientific library has been released! Version 1.0.0 comes in the form of a c++ library (PaGMO), or Python 2.7 module (PyGMO) and is compatible with all major hardware platforms. PaGMO/PyGMO allows for massively parallel engineering optimization. It has been sucessfully used in the past to design interplanetary low-thrust trajectories, as well as microstructred thermal radiators or to process ionospheric data. A list of optimization algorithms included in version 1.0.0 can be found here. They all are made parallel via PyGMO's generalized island model, a coarse-grained parallelization technology the Advanced Concepts Team developed in past years.
