Coin Bazaar: Small examples and extensions of COIN-OR projects.

Project Description:

The Coin Bazaar project facilitates community involvement in the COIN-OR repositories. This project allows OR researchers to contribute code examples, application examples and code extensions and plugins without directly contributing to a regular COIN-OR project. Thus, this project helps bridge the gap between core package development and package extensions. Specific goals of this project are (1) to manage extensions to COIN-OR packages that have limited subversion access, (2) allow developers and COIN-OR users to share code and application examples, and (3) provide a home for auxilliary software tools that facilitate the use of COIN-OR tools.

Project Description:

CMPL is a mathematical programming language and a system for mathematical programming and optimisation of linear optimisation problems. CMPL executes CBC (default), GLPK, SCIP, Gurobi or CPLEX directly to solve the generated model instance. Because it is also possible to transform the mathematical problem into MPS, Free-MPS or OSiL files, alternative solvers can be used. The CMPL distribution contains Coliop which is an (simple) IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for CMPL. The CMPL package also contains pyCMPL, jCMPL and CMPLServer. pyCMPL is the CMPL application programming interface (API) for Python and an interactive shell and jCMPL is CMPL’s Java API. CMPLServer is an XML-RPC-based web service for distributed and grid optimisation that can be used with CMPL, pyCMPL and jCMPL.

Gravity: Gravity is an open source, scalable, memory efficient modeling language for solving mathematical models in Optimization and Machine Learning.

Project Description:

Gravity is an open source, scalable, memory efficient modeling language for solving mathematical models in Optimization and Machine Learning. It exploits structure to reduce function evaluation time including Jacobian and Hessian computation. Gravity is implemented in C++ with a flexible interface allowing the user to specify the numerical accuracy of variables and parameters and can handle arbitrary Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs (MINLPs) as well as Mixed-Integer Semidefinite Programs (MISDPs). It is also designed to offer efficient iterative model solving, convexity detection, multithreading of subproblems, and lazy constraint generation. When compared to state-of-the-art modeling languages such as JuMP, Gravity is 5 times faster in terms of function evaluation and up to 60 times more memory efficient. Short term goals include Lasserre’s hierarchy implementation for polynomial optimization and automatic symbolic variable elimination for MINLPs.

ROSE: Software for performing symbolic reformulations to Mathematical Programs (MP).

Project Description:

Optimization problems are usually defined in terms of their mathematical programming formulation. This consists of a set of objective functions to be optimized subject to a set of constraints, all expressed in terms of a set of decision variables which may be discrete or continuous. Formulations may be symbolically transformed so that some of their numerical properties (e.g. optimal solutions, feasible region,…) are invariant. Yet sometimes the reformulated problem is easier to solve or is useful within a given solution algorithm. The main aims of this project are a systematic study of reformulation theory, the production of software tools for automating mathematical programming reformulation, and the formalization and implementation of solution algorithms based on reformulation techniques.

Crème: An implementation of the randomized thermal relaxation method to find a feasible solution of the Maximum Feasible Subsystem problem.

Project Description:

Crème (COIN-OR RElaxation MEthod) is an implementation of a heuristic for the Maximum Feasible Subsystem (MaxFS) problem. The MaxFS problem consists of finding the subsystem of an infeasible LP such that the subsystem is feasible and contains a maximum number of constraints. Crème implements a randomized and thermal variant of the relaxation method proposed by Agmon (1954) and Motzkin and Schoenberg (1954). Crème is a heuristic that updates an iterate while keeping track of the number of inequalities satisfied at each iteration. See E. Amaldi, P. Belotti, R. Hauser, Randomized Relaxation Methods for the Maximum Feasible Subsystem Problem. In M. Juenger, V. Kaibel (eds.), Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, 11th International IPCO Conference, Berlin, Germany, June 8-10, 2005, pages 249-264, 2005.

Project Description:

The goal of this project is to provide sets of libraries and executables precompiled and tested on the most popular platforms for those users who do not need to look at or modify the source code of the COIN projects themselves. The CoinAll distribution is an associated effort to develop a distribution consisting of a set of consistent, interoperable binaries built from the source code of as large a subset of COIN-OR projects as possible. The idea is to allow a user who wants binaries for a large number of COIN projects and wants to ensure that they will all interoperate to be able to download them all at once in a single distribution.

CHiPPS: A framework for constructing parallel tree search algorithms (includes an LP-based branch-cut-price implementation).

Project Description:

CHiPPS is the COIN-OR Open Parallel Search Framework, a framework for implementing parallel algorithms based on tree search. The current CHiPPS architecture consists of three layers. The Abstract Library for Parallel Search (ALPS) is the base layer of a hierarchy consisting of implementations of various tree search algorithms for specific problem types. The Branch, Constrain, and Price Software (BiCePS) is a data management layer built on top of ALPS for implementing relaxation-based branch and bound algorithms. The BiCePS Linear Integer Solver (BLIS) is a concretization of the BiCePS layer for solving mixed-integer linear programs. ALPS, BiCePS, and BLIS are sub-repostories of the CHiPPS Subversion repository.

Project Description:

The goal of this project is to provide sets of libraries and executables precompiled and tested on the most popular platforms for those users who do not need to look at or modify the source code of the COIN projects themselves. The CoinAll distribution is an associated effort to develop a distribution consisting of a set of consistent, interoperable binaries built from the source code of as large a subset of COIN-OR projects as possible. The idea is to allow a user who wants binaries for a large number of COIN projects and wants to ensure that they will all interoperate to be able to download them all at once in a single distribution.

ADOL-C: A package for the automatic differentiation of C and C++ programs.

Project Description:

ADOL-C is an open-source package for the automatic differentiation of C and C++ programs. The resulting evaluation routines for first and higher-order derivatives may be called from C, C++, Fortran, or any other language that can be linked with C. The numerical values of derivative vectors are obtained free of truncation errors at a small multiple of the run time and random access memory required by the given function evaluation program. Derivative matrices are obtained by columns, by rows or in sparse format. For solution curves defined by ordinary differential equations, special routines are provided that evaluate the Taylor coefficient vectors and their Jacobians with respect to the current state vector. For explicitly or implicitly defined functions derivative tensors are obtained with a complexity that grows only quadratically in their degree.

ADOL-C: A package for the automatic differentiation of C and C++ programs.

Project Description:

ADOL-C is an open-source package for the automatic differentiation of C and C++ programs. The resulting evaluation routines for first and higher-order derivatives may be called from C, C++, Fortran, or any other language that can be linked with C. The numerical values of derivative vectors are obtained free of truncation errors at a small multiple of the run time and random access memory required by the given function evaluation program. Derivative matrices are obtained by columns, by rows or in sparse format. For solution curves defined by ordinary differential equations, special routines are provided that evaluate the Taylor coefficient vectors and their Jacobians with respect to the current state vector. For explicitly or implicitly defined functions derivative tensors are obtained with a complexity that grows only quadratically in their degree.

CMPL: A mathematical programming language and a system for mathematical programming and optimisation of linear optimisation problems.

Project Description:

CMPL is a mathematical programming language and a system for mathematical programming and optimisation of linear optimisation problems. CMPL executes CBC (default), GLPK, SCIP, Gurobi or CPLEX directly to solve the generated model instance. Because it is also possible to transform the mathematical problem into MPS, Free-MPS or OSiL files, alternative solvers can be used. The CMPL distribution contains Coliop which is an (simple) IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for CMPL. The CMPL package also contains pyCMPL, jCMPL and CMPLServer. pyCMPL is the CMPL application programming interface (API) for Python and an interactive shell and jCMPL is CMPL’s Java API. CMPLServer is an XML-RPC-based web service for distributed and grid optimisation that can be used with CMPL, pyCMPL and jCMPL.

Coin Bazaar: Small examples and extensions of COIN-OR projects.

Project Description:

The Coin Bazaar project facilitates community involvement in the COIN-OR repositories. This project allows OR researchers to contribute code examples, application examples and code extensions and plugins without directly contributing to a regular COIN-OR project. Thus, this project helps bridge the gap between core package development and package extensions. Specific goals of this project are (1) to manage extensions to COIN-OR packages that have limited subversion access, (2) allow developers and COIN-OR users to share code and application examples, and (3) provide a home for auxilliary software tools that facilitate the use of COIN-OR tools.

Project Description:

The goal of this project is to provide sets of libraries and executables precompiled and tested on the most popular platforms for those users who do not need to look at or modify the source code of the COIN projects themselves. The CoinAll distribution is an associated effort to develop a distribution consisting of a set of consistent, interoperable binaries built from the source code of as large a subset of COIN-OR projects as possible. The idea is to allow a user who wants binaries for a large number of COIN projects and wants to ensure that they will all interoperate to be able to download them all at once in a single distribution.

Crème: An implementation of the randomized thermal relaxation method to find a feasible solution of the Maximum Feasible Subsystem problem.

Project Description:

Crème (COIN-OR RElaxation MEthod) is an implementation of a heuristic for the Maximum Feasible Subsystem (MaxFS) problem. The MaxFS problem consists of finding the subsystem of an infeasible LP such that the subsystem is feasible and contains a maximum number of constraints. Crème implements a randomized and thermal variant of the relaxation method proposed by Agmon (1954) and Motzkin and Schoenberg (1954). Crème is a heuristic that updates an iterate while keeping track of the number of inequalities satisfied at each iteration. See E. Amaldi, P. Belotti, R. Hauser, Randomized Relaxation Methods for the Maximum Feasible Subsystem Problem. In M. Juenger, V. Kaibel (eds.), Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, 11th International IPCO Conference, Berlin, Germany, June 8-10, 2005, pages 249-264, 2005.

Gravity: Gravity is an open source, scalable, memory efficient modeling language for solving mathematical models in Optimization and Machine Learning.

Project Description:

Gravity is an open source, scalable, memory efficient modeling language for solving mathematical models in Optimization and Machine Learning. It exploits structure to reduce function evaluation time including Jacobian and Hessian computation. Gravity is implemented in C++ with a flexible interface allowing the user to specify the numerical accuracy of variables and parameters and can handle arbitrary Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programs (MINLPs) as well as Mixed-Integer Semidefinite Programs (MISDPs). It is also designed to offer efficient iterative model solving, convexity detection, multithreading of subproblems, and lazy constraint generation. When compared to state-of-the-art modeling languages such as JuMP, Gravity is 5 times faster in terms of function evaluation and up to 60 times more memory efficient. Short term goals include Lasserre’s hierarchy implementation for polynomial optimization and automatic symbolic variable elimination for MINLPs.

ROSE: Software for performing symbolic reformulations to Mathematical Programs (MP).

Project Description:

Optimization problems are usually defined in terms of their mathematical programming formulation. This consists of a set of objective functions to be optimized subject to a set of constraints, all expressed in terms of a set of decision variables which may be discrete or continuous. Formulations may be symbolically transformed so that some of their numerical properties (e.g. optimal solutions, feasible region,…) are invariant. Yet sometimes the reformulated problem is easier to solve or is useful within a given solution algorithm. The main aims of this project are a systematic study of reformulation theory, the production of software tools for automating mathematical programming reformulation, and the formalization and implementation of solution algorithms based on reformulation techniques.

Vol: A subgradient algorithm that also computes approximate primal solutions.

Project Description:

Vol (Volume Algorithm) is an open-source implementation of a subgradient method that produces primal as well as dual solutions. The primal solution comes from estimating the volumes below the faces of the dual problem. This is an approximate method so the primal vector might have small infeasiblities that are negligible in many practical settings. The original subgradient algorithm produces only dual solutions.
