D-Wave Tabu Sampler¶
A dimod sampler that uses the MST2 multistart tabu search algorithm.
- class TabuSampler[source]¶
A tabu-search sampler.
Examples
This example solves a two-variable Ising model.
>>> from tabu import TabuSampler >>> samples = TabuSampler().sample_ising({'a': -0.5, 'b': 1.0}, {'ab': -1}) >>> list(samples.data()) [Sample(sample={'a': -1, 'b': -1}, energy=-1.5, num_occurrences=1)] >>> samples.first.energy -1.5

- sample(bqm, initial_states=None, initial_states_generator='random', num_reads=None, seed=None, tenure=None, timeout=20, num_restarts=1000000, energy_threshold=None, **kwargs)[source]¶
Run a multistart tabu search on a given binary quadratic model.
- Parameters
bqm (
BinaryQuadraticModel
) – The binary quadratic model (BQM) to be sampled.initial_states (
SampleSet
, optional, default=None) – One or more samples, each defining an initial state for all the problem variables. Initial states are given one per read, but if fewer than num_reads initial states are defined, additional values are generated as specified by initial_states_generator.initial_states_generator (str, 'none'/'tile'/'random', optional, default='random') –
Defines the expansion of initial_states if fewer than num_reads are specified:
- ”none”:
If the number of initial states specified is smaller than num_reads, raises ValueError.
- ”tile”:
Reuses the specified initial states if fewer than num_reads or truncates if greater.
- ”random”:
Expands the specified initial states with randomly generated states if fewer than num_reads or truncates if greater.
num_reads (int, optional, default=len(initial_states) or 1) – Number of reads. Each read is generated by one run of the tabu algorithm. If num_reads is not explicitly given, it is selected to match the number of initial states given. If initial states are not provided, only one read is performed.
seed (int (32-bit unsigned integer), optional) – Seed to use for the PRNG. If the timeout parameter is not None, results from the same seed may not be identical between runs due to finite clock resolution.
tenure (int, optional) – Tabu tenure, which is the length of the tabu list, or number of recently explored solutions kept in memory. Default is a quarter of the number of problem variables up to a maximum value of 20.
timeout (int, optional, default=20) – Total running time per read in milliseconds.
num_restarts (int, optional, default=1,000,000) – Number of tabu search restarts per read.
energy_threshold (float, optional) – Terminate when an energy lower than
energy_threshold
is found.

Examples
This example samples a simple two-variable Ising model.
>>> import dimod >>> bqm = dimod.BQM.from_ising({}, {'ab': 1})
>>> import tabu >>> sampler = tabu.TabuSampler()
>>> samples = sampler.sample(bqm) >>> samples.record[0].energy -1.0
