PySA: Fast Simulated Annealing in Native Python

PySA is an extensible platform to optimize classical cost function.

PySA is a heuristic solver that does not provide bounds or guarantees on optimality of solutions.

Getting Started

Tutorials on how to use PySA can be found in pysa/tutorials.

Available Modules

PySA provides multiple modules that can be independently installed:

  • Generator of Random McEliece instances (pysa-mceliece)
  • Stern Algorithm to solve unstructured decoding problems (pysa-stern)
  • Branch-and-Bound Library with Workload Autobalance Between Threads and Nodes (pysa-branching)
  • WalkSAT algorithm for SAT problems (pysa-walksat)
  • DPLL Implementation for SAT based on pysa-braching (pysa-dpll)

Installation

PySA can be installed by using pip directly from the GitHub repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/nasa/pysa

using a zip file:

pip install pysa.zip

or by using conda:
