Hrothgar is a parallel minimizer and Markov Chain Monte Carlo generator by Andisheh Mahdavi of San Francisco State University. It has been used to solve optimization problems in astrophysics (galaxy cluster mass profiles) as well as in experimental particle physics (hadronic tau decays). It is probably adaptable enough to be applied to your merit function if you can write it in C.

NullAllEst is the implementation of a maximum likelihood algorithm to estimate the frequency of a null allele in microsatellite genetic data. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation is used to solve the likelihood function.
