Algorithms are based on first principles, enabling the capture of detailed physics such as shot-noise driven micro-bunching instabilities. The most recent generation of the IMPACT code, using multi-level parallelization on massively parallel supercomputers, now enables multi-objective parametric optimization. This is facilitated by recent advances such as the unified differential evolution algorithm*. The most recent developments will be described, together with applications to the modeling of LCLS-II**.
