OSTRICH

This example demonstrates the “Warm Start” features of OSTRICH – where an OSTRICH algorithm can be resumed from where a previous optimization left off. The optimization task is to identify the least-cost design of a sorptive landfill liner (Matott et al., 2012). Model evaluations from a previous optimization are stored in the “OstModelN.txt” files, where N is the processor id. When warm starts are enabled these files are pre-processed by OSTRICH prior to launching the selected search algorithm.
