fastPSO

Fast parallel Particle Swarm Optimization package for Python

fastPSO is an open source software library for Particle Swarm Optimization built with two goals in mind:

• Speed
• Parallelism

Its flexible architecture enables you to define complex objective functions, and to perform optimization in a serial or parallel setting. In addition, it offers detailed insights on the optimization process, helping practitioners profile their results.

Installation

pip package

pip install fastpso

Requirements

• numpy
