TAO is aimed at the solution of large-scale optimization problems on high-performance architectures. It is suitable for both single-processor and massively-parallel architectures were an implementation of the MPI standard is available.

tao4py are Python bindings for TAO, the Toolkit for Advanced Optimization.

This package depends on:

• petsc4py: Python bindings for PETSc, the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation.

A good friend of this package is:

• mpi4py: Python bindings for MPI, the Message Passing Interface.

Other related project is:

• slepc4py: Python bindings for SLEPc, the Scalable Library for Eigenvalue Problem Computations.
