CPLEX Optimization Studio speeds development and
deployment of optimization models, combining leading
solver engines with a tightly integrated IDE and
modeling language.
Speed development and deployment of optimization
models, using linear/quadratic, mixed integer, and
constraint programming and constraint-based
scheduling. Ensure reliable development and
maintenance using a transparent modeling language
and intuitive tools for model testing, profiling,
and tuning.
* Solving with mathematical programming: Complete
access to a powerful MP solver through the IDE,
API, or via third party applications.
* Solving with constraint programming: Access to an
outstanding and proven CP solver as well, through
the IDE, API, or via third party applications.
* Modeling: Create optimization models and extend
optimization algorithms using the OPL modeling
language, the ILOG Concert APIs, or numerous other
interfaces and connectors.
* Developing: Develop, debug, test, and tune
analytical decision support applications.
* Deploying: Deploy analytical decision support
applications.
IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio provides the
fastest way to build efficient optimization models
and state-of-the-art applications for the full range
of planning and scheduling problems. The
Optimization Programming Language (OPL) provides a
natural representation of optimization models,
requiring far less effort than general-purpose
programming languages. The Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) makes it easy to evaluate
different modeling approaches and to integrate
external data. With its built-in development tools,
it supports the entire model development process.
In addition to accessing the IBM ILOG CPLEX
Optimizers for mathematical programming and
constraint programming through the OPL language and
IDE, IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio also
provides access through the ILOG Concert Technology
API in C++, Java, or Microsoft .NET, or through the
CPLEX Callable Library. Alternatively, IBM ILOG ODM
Enterprise embeds and integrates the modules of IBM
ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio to generate
state-of-the-art enterprise decision support
applications with what-if scenario comparison
capabilities and tabular and graphic data views.
The IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio delivers the
tools to create both well-tested and finely tuned
optimization models and interactive analytical
decision-support applications. Advanced features
help users develop complete optimization
applications-without requiring detailed knowledge of
computer programming.
* IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio combines and
simplifies IBM's product offerings for
optimization application development, solving, and
deployment. It offers in a single package, all the
functionality that was previously available among
an array of product and component configurations,
making all tools and technologies available during
prototyping and development.
* Natural representation of optimization problems.
Compared to conventional programming languages,
Optimization Programming Language (OPL) represents
optimization problems descriptively, simplifying
model development. OPL provides a rich toolkit to
address a variety of problem types, allowing
comparisons of alternative and hybrid solution
methodologies.
* Support for two optimization technologies. The IBM
ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is designed to
support IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer -the world's
leading mathematical programming optimization
engine, as well as IBM ILOG CPLEX CP Optimizer,
our state-of-the-art constraint programming engine
for solving sequencing, resource allocation and
timetabling problems that are difficult or
impossible to solve with mathematical programming
techniques. IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio
allows users to develop single models in either
technology or multi-model solutions that use
either or both technologies. Interval-based
scheduling support is available. It is based on
the "model and run" concept: Robust search
algorithms and automatic search parameter settings
allow users to concentrate on modeling without
being worried about the search itself.
* A full-featured scripting language. OPL Script is
a full-featured JavaScript language for data
pre-processing, solution post-processing, and
algorithmic flow control. OPL Script also makes it
easy to solve complex problems by combining or
sequencing related models.
* Integrated application programming interfaces
(APIs). Models created by IBM ILOG CPLEX
Optimization Studio can be easily integrated into
external applications written in Java, C++ or
.NET, without having to rewrite the model in other
programming languages.
* Connections to spreadsheets and relational
databases. IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio can
import data and export solutions to databases or
spreadsheets. A clean separation of the model from
the data makes it easy to switch between test data
files and production data sources.
* An interactive development environment. The IBM
ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio integrated
development environment (IDE) supports model
development, data and parameter combinations
testing, and results reviews. The implementation
of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio's "Run
Configuration" concept allows users to evaluate
different modeling approaches to a problem with
the same data, and/or different data sets with a
given model, and to experiment with different
algorithmic control parameter settings that
combine models, data and parameter settings into
run configurations.
* Conflict detection/display and recommended
conflict resolution. Detect and display
conflicting constraints in infeasible models using
CPLEX Optimizer's conflict refiner. Relax
constraints based on user defined priorities.
* Execution tracing and profiling. Full access to
CPLEX Optimizer and CP Optimizer log files enables
tracking the solve progress. Use profiler to
understand use of memory and time by different
phases of the execution process.
* Automatic performance tuning. Use the IBM ILOG
CPLEX Optimizer tuning tool to automatically tune
engine performance on mathematical programming
models.
* Automatic application generation. IBM ILOG CPLEX
Optimization Studio and IBM ILOG ODM Enterprise
have made it possible to automatically generate an
IBM ILOG ODM Enterprise application from the
structure of an OPL model. A simple wizard-guided
step provides the initial application. OPL data
structures are automatically mapped to data tables
in IBM ILOG ODM Enterprise, decision variables and
solution metrics are mapped to solution views, and
objective functions are mapped to IBM ILOG ODM
Enterprise's interactive business goals.
Constraints marked as relaxable in the OPL model
are exposed to the end user by name and priority,
allowing relaxations and trade-offs based on
business importance.
IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio v12.5 provides
Operations Research (OR) practitioners, OEMs and
Consultants with leading solver engines, a modeling
language, a set of embedding APIs, and a client-server
environment provided by IBM ILOG CPLEX Enterprise Server.
Key enhancements include:
* Easier migration from desktop to client server
* New capabilities in the IDE:
* Improved performance from the CPLEX Optimizer in
solving mixed integer programs
* New capabilities in CPLEX Optimizer for quadratic
problems - Dual values are provided for all problems
* Easier modeling with CPLEX CP Optimizer
