The '''Great Delugedeluge algorithm''' ('''GD''') is a generic algorithm applied to [[Optimization (mathematics)|optimization]] problems. It is similar in many ways to the [[hill-climbing]] and [[simulated annealing]] algorithms.
 
The name comes from the analogy that in a great deluge a person climbing a hill will try to move in any direction that does not get his/her feet wet in the hope of finding a way up as the water level rises.
