The Gablonsky version makes the algorithm "more biased towards local search" so that it is more efficient for functions without too many local minima. NLopt contains several implementations of both of these algorithms. I would tend to try `NLOPT_GN_DIRECT_L` first; YMMV. First, it contains a from-scratch re-implementation of both algorithms, specified by the constants `NLOPT_GN_DIRECT` and `NLOPT_GN_DIRECT_L`, respectively.
