Abstract
There is provided a method of discrete optimisation comprising: receiving an optimisation objective function; performing a continuous optimisation based upon the optimisation objective function to generate an initial continuous value; generating a plurality of candidate discrete values based upon the initial continuous value; evaluating the plurality of candidate discrete values based upon the optimisation objective function, wherein the evaluation of the plurality of candidate discrete values is carried out in parallel; and outputting a candidate discrete value based upon the evaluation.
