Review on Gurobi Optimizer by Jordan Rini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good open source optimization tool

It has been running our simulations of over 1 million vehicle fleet scenarios for almost 7 years now with great results! I think Gurobi is the best on the market. We are solving large scale nonlinear mixed integer programs (MIP) in less than 5 seconds on a desktop computer with no special hardware or software required. There are certain functions like "get_feasible" that work well and fast but have a small drawback - they don't support multiple input files at once but rather process them one by one. The MIP solver handles very large size instances without slowing down.

Pros
  • Superb quality
  • Very good speed, especially when compared to other solvers used today.
  • Easy setup
  • No need use proprietary tools such as CPLEX Studio etc..It can be easily set up using Matlab/Octave which makes it accessible from any programming language; this opens doors into more fields where Python doesn’t go far enough e
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
