Description
Propulate 🧬 is an HPC-tailored software for solving optimization problems in parallel. More specifically, it is an asynchronous evolutionary optimization algorithm and Python package with MPI parallelization. This makes it particularly suitable for large-scale hyperparameter optimization and neural architecture search.
This release includes the following features and enhancements:
- Various different optimizer flavors:
- Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES)
- Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
- Nelder-Mead Optimization
- Early stopping of unpromising candidates with surrogate models
- Multi-level parallelism by distributing each evaluation itself in addition to running
multiple evaluations asynchronously at a time
