2. Overview¶

MindOpt-0.25.0 is an efficient optimization software with current capabilities as described below. More capabilities are under development, please pay attention to our release notice.

Following methods are implemented in MindOpt-0.25.0:

The primal/dual simplex method and the interior point method (IPM) for solving linear programming (LP) problems.
The interior point method for convex quadratic programming (QP) problems.
An branch-and-cut solver for mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problems.
An solver for Semi-definite programming (SDP) problems.

Supports for calling MindOpt-0.25.0 :

OS platforms: Windows/Linux/macOS, with X86 architecture.
Interface: Command-line, C language, C++, Python, Java .
Modeling languages: AMPL, Pyomo, PuLP, and MAPL (MindOpt APL).
Input file formats for optimization problems: .lp, .mps, .nl, .dat-s.
Run mode: A Local version for running in one computer. A Client/Server (C/S) version for using your computers (clients) to sent the problems to the remote computing server cluster for solving.
Authentication method:
- Floating License. Checking authentication by the remote cloud server, but run the application locally in your own computer.
- Local License. The license is bound to the cpu-id of your computer.
