PDS <title_line>direct search methods for unconstrained optimization <author>Dr. Virginia Torczon <contact>Danny Powell <danny@rice.edu> <publication_date>May 1992 <abstract> PDS is a collection of Fortran subroutines for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems using direct search methods. The software is written so that execution on sequential machines is straightforward while execution on Intel distributed memory machines can be accomplished simply by including a few well-defined routines containing calls to Intel-specific Fortran libraries. <description> <url>ftp://softlib.rice.edu/pub/pds/pds.ps.Z</url> </description> <reference> <url>ftp://softlib.rice.edu/pub/pds/pds.ps.Z</url> </reference> <keywords>GAMS G1b2. unconstrained optimization; nonlinear optimization; multidirectional search; parallel direct search; distributed memory multiprocessor <category>numerical-opt <publication-date> <environment>Platforms - Intel iPSC/2, iPSC/860 or Touchstone Delta, Sun worksta tion <copyright> <url>gopher://softlib.cs.rice.edu:70/00/softlib/softlib
