The algorithms implemented are based on the book "Derivative-Free and Blackbox Optimization", by Charles Audet and Warren Hare, Springer 2017. WEB PAGE: https://www.gerad.ca/nomad/ CONTACT: [email protected] VERSION WARNING: This repository is for NOMAD 4. NOMAD 3 is not on GitHub. NOMAD 4 is similar in usage to NOMAD 3. It does not have all functionalities from NOMAD 3 yet. NOMAD 4 has a new software architecture, uses OpenMP to run evaluations in parallel, and also has some new functionalities. COMPILATION (Release): On Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac OS X, NOMAD can be compiled using CMake. The minimum version of CMake is 3.14. Older versions will trigger an error. A recent C++ compiler is also required. Before starting the procedure we recommend to set the environment variable $NOMAD_HOME with the path where NOMAD has been copied. For Linux and OSX, export NOMAD_HOME=/home/myUserName/PathToNomad For Windows, add an environment variable %NOMAD_HOME% containing the path. The remaining text uses the $NOMAD_HOME environment variable. The procedure is the following. On the command line in the $NOMAD_HOME directory: cmake -S . -B build/release ---> Create the CMake files and directories for building (-B) in build/release. The source (-S) CMakeLists.txt file is in the $NOMAD_HOME directory. To deactivate compilation with OpenMP: cmake -DTEST_OPENMP=OFF -S . -B build/release To enable *C interface* building: cmake -DBUILD_INTERFACE_C=ON -S . -B build/release To enable *Matlab* interface building: cmake -DBUILD_INTERFACE_MATLAB=ON -DTEST_OPENMP=OFF -S . -B build/release ! Compiler version and Matlab version need to be compatible; ! Check https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/supported-compilers.html ! The Matlab interface will not be built if OpenMP is enabled. ! An extra addpath Matlab command must be done to have access to nomad Mex binaries. ! Extra flags might be required to prevent CMake errors. See details in User Guide (Section Matlab interface). To enable *Python* interface (PyNomad) building: cmake -DBUILD_INTERFACE_PYTHON=ON -S . -B build/release ! Building requires to have Cython. Cython can be obtained with Anaconda distribution platform. ! On *Windows*, using Visual Studio, see the user guide to properly manage X86/X64 building of binaries. To enable *Java* interface building (with Swig): cmake -DBUILD_INTERFACE_JAVA=ON -S . -B build/release cmake --build build/release --config Release (for *Windows*) or cmake --build build/release (for *OSX* and *Linux*) ---> Build all the libraries and applications Option --parallel xx can be added for faster build. The option --config Release should be used on *Windows* to build only Release configuration. The default configuration is Debug. cmake --install build/release --config Release (for *Windows*) or cmake --install build/release (for *OSX* and *Linux*) ---> Copy binaries and headers in build/release/[bin, include, lib] and in the examples/tests directories. By default, the executable "nomad" will installed into the directory: build/release/bin/ (build/debug/bin/ when in debug mode). A symbolic link is added in the bin directory. It is possible to build only a single application in its working directory: (with NOMAD_HOME environment variable properly set) cd $NOMAD_HOME/examples/basic/library/example1 cmake --build $NOMAD_HOME/build/release --target example1_lib.exe cmake --install $NOMAD_HOME/build/release COMPILATION (Debug): The procedure to build the debug version is the following. On the command line in the $NOMAD_HOME directory: cmake -S . -B build/debug -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ---> On Windows, all 4 configurations are always prepared (Debug, RelWithDebugInfo, MinSizeRel, Release); flag CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is ignored. cmake --build build/debug --config Debug (for *Windows) or cmake --build build/debug (for *OSX* and *Linux*) ---> Build the libraries and applications Option --parallel xx can be added for faster build. cmake --install build/debug --config Debug (for *Windows) or cmake --install build/debug (for *OSX* and *Linux*) ---> Copy binaries and headers in build/debug/[bin, include, lib] and in the examples/tests directories EXAMPLES OF OPTIMIZATION: Batch Mode: There are examples in batch mode in $NOMAD_HOME/examples/basic/batch/. In each directory, the blackbox functions (usually named bb) are compiled by default. The problem may be resolved using NOMAD and the parameter file: $NOMAD_HOME/build/release/bin/nomad param.txt For convenience, the path to $NOMAD_HOME/build/release/bin directory can be added to the $PATH environment variable. For *Windows*, this is achieved by setting the parameters for environment variable %PATH%. Library Mode: There are examples in library mode in $NOMAD_HOME/examples/basic/library/. In each directory, the executable may be compiled when building Nomad application. The problems may be resolved by execution, for instance: ./example_lib.exe
