New in Release 4.1:

  • It is possible to use a static surrogate executable to sort points before evaluating them with the blackbox. See parameter EVAL_QUEUE_SORT with value SURROGATE.
  • It is also possible to do a full optimization using only the surrogate executable instead of the blackbox executable. See parameter EVAL_SURROGATE_OPTIMIZATION.
  • Poll direction ORTHO N+1 NEG is now supported for parameters DIRECTION_TYPE and DIRECTION_TYPE_SECONDARY_POLL. It is also now possible to define several direction types for these parameters.
  • Variable Neighborhood Search, using Mads for sub-optimization, is now supported. See parameter VNS_MADS_SEARCH.
  • NOMAD can now be compiled on Windows. Follow the instructions in the README. PyNomad interface is not supported for this version.
