IMPORTANT NOTICE: pygmo, the Python bindings for pagmo, have been split off into a separate project, hosted here. Please update your bookmarks!
pagmo is a C++ scientific library for massively parallel optimization. It is built around the idea of providing a unified interface to optimization algorithms and to optimization problems and to make their deployment in massively parallel environments easy.
If you are using pagmo as part of your research, teaching, or other activities, we would be grateful if you could star the repository and/or cite our work. For citation purposes, you can use the following BibTex entry, which refers to the pagmo paper in the Journal of Open Source Software:

journal = {Journal of Open Source Software}
}The DOI of the latest version of the software is available at this link.
The full documentation can be found here.
If you were using the old pagmo, have a look here on some technical data on what and why a completely new API and code was developed: https://github.com/esa/pagmo2/wiki/From-1.x-to-2.x
You will find many tutorials in the documentation, we suggest to skim through them to realize the differences. The new pagmo (version 2) should be considered (and is) as an entirely different code.
