[BLDG-SIM] GenOpt 1.1 beta released

[Michael Wetter <MWetter@xxxxxxx>]

GenOpt(R) 1.1 beta has been released. GenOpt is a generic optimization
program developed by the Simulation Research Group at LBNL.

It is designed for minimization of a so-called objective function, such
as annual energy use, that is computed by an external simulation
program.

GenOpt can automatically determine the values of user-selected system
parameters such that optimal system performance is achieved. It can also
identify unknown parameters in a data-fitting process.

By modifying a configuration file, users can easily couple any external
program (like DOE-2, SPARK, BLAST, EnergyPlus, TRACE, TRNSYS, or any
user-written program with text-based input/output) to compute the
function being minimized.

GenOpt also offers an interface for implementing own optimization
algorithms in its library.
