CUDA Quasi-Newton Optimization

Introduction

This is a C++ library for general-purpose, unconstrained non-linear optimization on the GPU using NVIDA's CUDA. It implements the L-BFGS (“Limited-memory Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno“) method, a popular Quasi-Newton optimization method with a low memory footprint.

The source code package already comes with some example applications and test cases. We also use this library in our GPU-accelerated super-resolution framework for non-linear optimization. More details about this application are available Opens internal link in current windowhere
