The main optimization strategy focus in Talos is to provide the gold standard random search capabilities. Talos implements three kinds of random generation methods:
- True / Quantum randomness
- Pseudo randomness
- Quasi randomness
The currently implemented methods are:
- Quantum randomness (vacuum based)
- Ambient Sound based randomness
- Sobol sequences
- Halton sequences
- Latin hypercube
- Improved Latin hypercube
- Latin hypercube with a Sudoku-style constraint
- Uniform Mersenne
- Cryptographically sound uniform
Each method differs in discrepancy and other observable aspects.
