    ``dwave-greedy`` is deprecated since ``dwave-ocean-sdk`` 6.1.0 in favor of
    :ref:`index_dwave_samplers` and will be removed in ``dwave-ocean-sdk`` 8.0.0.

An implementation of a steepest descent solver for binary quadratic models.

Steepest descent is the discrete analogue of gradient descent, but the best
move is computed using a local minimization rather rather than computing a
gradient. At each step, we determine the dimension along which to descend based
on the highest energy drop caused by a variable flip.
