Abstract: A high-performance general program is presented to deal with the multi-parameter optimization problems in physics. Considering the requirements of physical application, some small but significant modifications were made on the conventional simulated annealing algorithm. A parallel realization was suggested to further improve the performance of the program. Mathematical and physical examples were taken to test the feasibility and the efficiency of the program. The source code is available from the authors free of charge.
