Features

Full multi-objective optimization

• Feel free to optimize H bonds, hydrophobic interactions, desolvation effects, distances between given sets of atoms, rotamers and more, without compromises.

Unprecedented customizability

• Every gene and objective is a separate module, so they can be called on demand one or more times. This flexible approach allows very different calculations with the same mindset: exploration and evaluation.

Developer friendly

• If the provided genes and objectives are not enough, you can always code your own ones. Check out the developer docs <http://gaudi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developers.html>_!

Documentation and support

Documentation source is available in docs/ subdirectory, and also compiled as HTML at this webpage <http://gaudi.readthedocs.io/>_.
