Looking for a fast convergence methodology

Hi all,

First I would like to apologize if my question seems to be out of the
scope of this list. It is part of a Finacial model that I am working on.

I have a model in a ?functional format:

Result ?= mymodel(x,y)

I would like to run the model for a range of values for both variables
"x" and "y". The number of possible combination of x and y spans several
thousand possible scenarios. My goal is to find the best possible
outcome out of all the different possibilities. I am able to setup ?and
run this exhaustively, ?but it takes too long to cover the
possibilities. I even have a parallel process set up, but it still takes
too long.

I know my description might be ?a bit too general, but I was wondering
if anyone might have suggestions as what approaches I could experiment.
I am looking ?for some technique that might help to find fast
convergence without the need to having to exhaust each of the
possibilities.

Thanks,

Jorge Nieves
