CMAES in Rust

Motivation

This is my own Rust implementation of the CMA-ES optimization algorithm based in Hansen's purecma python implementation.

Roadmap

Now that I have migrated this crate to nalgebra matrix crate, current roadmap is to refactor all code for maximum performance.

Also, I plan to provide some interface utilities for users and provide more examples on how to use this tool.

Usage examples

Please see: - ask_tell_use.rs for a detailed and flexible use, - express_use.rs for a quick run with default configurations, - fold_use.rs to run for a specific number of generations. - To run other fitness examples, please see objectives.rs and adjust accordingly i.e. commented out code

About Backend

Although, I have conditionally configured-coded this tool to make use of openblas, netlib, accelerate and/or intel-mkl backends, I have noit yet tested them.
