\chisao{}: A GPU-Native Parallel Optimizer for Multimodal Black-Box Functions via Convergence-Anticonvergence Oscillation
Short summary
ChiSao is a GPU-native parallel optimizer that finds all modes of multimodal black-box functions through convergence-anticonvergence oscillation—freezing confirmed peaks while exploring via adaptive momentum. On 42 benchmark functions, it achieves 100% mode recovery where CPU methods fail at high dimensions, with 34×-39× speedups. Open-source on PyPI.
- •GPU-native algorithm exploits parallelism by oscillating between convergence (freeze modes) and anti-convergence (adaptive exploration)
- •100% mode recovery on benchmarks where basin-hopping and CMA-ES collapse at dimensions ≥8; 34×-39× speedup over baselines
- •Available open-source on PyPI; handles derivative-free black-box functions with noise robustness
