Annealing is a C language extension library for GSL, the GNU Scientific Library, attempting a redesign of the simulated annealing module.

Simulated annealing is a minimization technique which has given good results in avoiding local minima; it is based on the idea of taking a random walk through the space at successively lower temperatures, where the probability of taking a step is given by a Boltzmann distribution.

NOTE Officially the distribution supports only the GNU infrastructure on a Linux+GNU system; so it requires the GNU C Library, GCC, GNU Make and GNU Bash. It should work with GSL 1.9+.
