Description

DAKOTA website  

The DAKOTA (Design Analysis Kit for Optimization and Terascale Applications) toolkit provides a flexible, extensible interface between analysis codes and iterative systems analysis methods. DAKOTA contains algorithms for:

  • optimization with gradient and nongradient-based methods;
  • uncertainty quantification with sampling, reliability, stochastic expansion, and epistemic methods;
  • parameter estimation with nonlinear least squares methods; and
  • sensitivity/variance analysis with design of experiments and parameter study methods.

These capabilities may be used on their own or as components within advanced strategies such as hybrid optimization, surrogate-based optimization, mixed integer nonlinear programming, or optimization under uncertainty.

Required Modules

Module dependencies vary based on the version of DAKOTA that you are loading (see modules documentation)

  • Version 6.8
    • module load intel/2018.1.163 openmpi/3.1.0 dakota/6.8
  • Version 6.10
    • module load gcc/7.3.0 dakota/6.10
  • Version 6.15
    • module load gcc/7.3.0 openmpi/3.0.0 dakota/6.15

System Variables

  • HPC_DAKOTA_DIR - installation directory
  • HPC_DAKOTA_BIN - program executable directory
  • HPC_DAKOTA_LIB - library directory
  • HPC_DAKOTA_INC - include file directory




Citation

If you publish research that uses DAKOTA you have to cite it as follows:

Please cite the Dakota User's Manual (or other appropriate manual) for the version you used (see SAND Reports). For example:
