Generator Functions

Example Compatible Packages

libEnsemble and the Community Examples repository include example generator functions for the following libraries:

  • APOSMM Asynchronously parallel optimization solver for finding multiple minima. Supported local optimization routines include:

    • DFO-LS Derivative-free solver for (bound constrained) nonlinear least-squares minimization

    • NLopt Library for nonlinear optimization, providing a common interface for various methods

    • scipy.optimize Open-source solvers for nonlinear problems, linear programming, constrained and nonlinear least-squares, root finding, and curve fitting.

    • PETSc/TAO Routines for the scalable (parallel) solution of scientific applications

  • DEAP Distributed evolutionary algorithms

  • Distributed optimization methods for minimizing sums of convex functions. Methods include:

  • ECNoise Estimating Computational Noise in Numerical Simulations

  • Surmise Modular Bayesian calibration/inference framework

  • Tasmanian Toolkit for Adaptive Stochastic Modeling and Non-Intrusive ApproximatioN

  • VTMOP Fortran package for large-scale multiobjective multidisciplinary design optimization

libEnsemble has also been used to coordinate many computationally expensive simulations. Select examples include:

  • OPAL Object Oriented Parallel Accelerator Library. (See this IPAC manuscript.)

  • WarpX Advanced electromagnetic particle-in-cell code.
