- 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,
such as the iPSC/2, the iPSC/860 or the touchstone Delta, can be
accomplished simply by including a few well-defined routines
containing calls to Intel-specific Fortran libraries.
