PORTALS
=======

The PORTALS method, described in `P. Rodriguez-Fernandez et al.,arXiv (2023) <https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.12610>`_ consists of using Bayesian Optimization techniques to find steady-state solutions of transport codes of arbitrary fidelity.

Once setup has been successful, the following regression test should run smoothly:

.. code-block:: console

   python3 MITIM-fusion/tests/PORTALS_workflow.py

.. warning::

   It is recommended that you run first the regression tests for the general optimization workflow and the TGLF interface:
   
   .. code-block:: console

      python3 MITIM-fusion/tests/OPT_workflow.py

      python3 MITIM-fusion/tests/TGLF_workflow.py

   If both of those tests work, it is highly likely that the PORTALS workflow will work as well.
