If not all, most methods to obtain stable structures are based on local minimizers, which are algorithms adapted to identify the first minimum-energy structure starting from an arbitrary point on the coordinates space.
Among the variety of local minimizers available on the literature, the so-called FIRE
(Fast Inertial Relaxation Engine) algorithm, put forward by Bitzek {\it et al.}~\cite{Bitzek2006}, has
become a robust state of the art local minimizer. It has proven to have a competitive performance compared with both standard implementations of the conjugate gradient method, and more sophisticated schemes typically used in {\it ab initio} calculations.
And a recent article shows the FIRE as the most convenient algorithm do to its speed and precision in order to reach the nearest local minimum starting from a given initial configuration~\cite{Asenjo2013}.
