PDS

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.
