Detailed Description

COLINApplication is a DAKOTA class that is derived from COLIN's OptApplication hierarchy. It redefines a variety of virtual COLIN functions to use the corresponding DAKOTA functions. This is a more flexible algorithm library interfacing approach than can be obtained with the function pointer approaches used by NPSOLOptimizer and SNLLOptimizer.

Member Function Documentation

void DoEval	(	ColinPoint &	pt,
		int &	priority,
		ColinResponse *	prob_response,
		bool	synch_flag
	)

launch a function evaluation either synchronously or asynchronously

Converts the ColinPoint variables and request vector to DAKOTA variables and active set vector, performs a DAKOTA function evaluation with synchronization governed by synch_flag, and then copies the Response data to the ColinResponse response (synchronous) or bookkeeps the response object (asynchronous).

void synchronize

(

)

blocking retrieval of all pending jobs

Blocking synchronize of asynchronous DAKOTA jobs followed by conversion of the Response objects to ColinResponse response objects.

int next_eval

(

)

nonblocking query and retrieval of a job if completed

Nonblocking job retrieval. Finds a completion (if available), populates the COLIN response, and sets id to the completed job's id. Else set id = -1.

void map_response	(	ColinResponse &	colin_response,
		const Response &	dakota_response
	)			[private]

utility function for mapping a DAKOTA response to a COLIN response

map_response Maps a Response object into a ColinResponse class that is compatable with COLIN.
