Statement of need

This repository providess the original BBOB 24 noise-free, real-parameter, single-objective benchmark functions reimplemented in JAX. Originally written in C, these functions have been translated to JAX to enable automatic differentiation, just-in-time (JIT) compilation, and XLA-accelerated performance — making them ideal for research in optimization, machine learning, and evolutionary algorithms.
