Benefits Geneva
- Generic approach, independent from particular optimization problem
- Works on multi-processors and clusters
- Can be extended to wide-area Grids if security requirements of deployment scenario are met
- Noise-resistant, robust with respect to local optima
- Different parameter types possible (floating point, boolean, ...). Optimization problems can thus be expressed in a very natural way
- User know-how needed in problem definition, not solution finding. Thus experience counts!
- Easily understandable procedure
- User is relieved from burdensome duties
- Open Source code

Featured Software Gem: Geneva
A high-performance optimization library
This picture shows the different iterations in modelling the Mona Lisa with the Geneva library, using 300 semi-transparent, overlapping triangles.
Geneva is a software library which enables users to solve large scale parametric optimization problems. From a user's perspective, parallel and multi-threaded execution can be achieved just as easily as serial execution on a single CPU-core. Performance and extensibility are at the core of the C++-based, object-oriented design. The code is available as Open Source, allowing customization under the terms of the Affero GPL v3. Additional licensing options are available.
Our Mission
Gemfony Scientific is an initiative led by Steinbuch Computing Centre of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Its goal is to host, maintain and further develop software projects with a scientific origin, and to facilitate the technology transfer into the commercial realm, wherever possible.
While the intention is to turn Gemfony Scientific into a commercial venture at one point, it is our ambition to also make Open Source versions of our software projects available to the public, wherever possible. Hence we believe to both serve the community and to simultaneously help to promote valuable projects that otherwise would go unnoticed.
Please note that no company has been founded so far. We thus do not participate in any trade activities, but do of course further develop our offers.
Please do contact us with any question or suggestion you might have, regarding our mission, our projects, or this webpage.
