Pointer Pointer is a graphical analysis automation and numerical optimization framework. You can couple your analysis codes without programming. A revolutionary, fully automated, artificial intelligence engine controls robust and popular optimization techniques including genetic, downhill simplex, and SQP algorithms. Pointer takes the guesswork and drudgery out of optimization. Synaps has made a lite version of Pointer (7 design variables max with a 1 year renewable license) available for free to the Linux community. For details, see http://www.synaps-inc.com/free.
