adaptive

Adaptive: parallel active learning of mathematical functions.

adaptive is an open-source Python library designed to make adaptive parallel function evaluation simple. With adaptive you just supply a function with its bounds, and it will be evaluated at the “best” points in parameter space, rather than unecessarily computing all points on a dense grid. With just a few lines of code you can evaluate functions on a computing cluster, live-plot the data as it returns, and fine-tune the adaptive sampling algorithm.

adaptive shines on computations where each evaluation of the function takes at least ≈100ms due to the overhead of picking potentially interesting points.
