Gurobi

The NEOS Server offers the Gurobi Optimizer for the solution of linear programming (LP) problems, mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) problems, and second-order conic programming (SOCP) problems. LPs and MILPs can be submitted to Gurobi on the NEOS server in AMPL, GAMS, LP, or MPS format. SOCPs can be submitted in AMPL, GAMS or NL format.

The Gurobi Optimizer is a state-of-the-art solver for mathematical programming. The solvers in the Gurobi Optimizer were designed from the ground up to exploit modern architectures and multi-core processors. For more information on Gurobi products and services, see the Gurobi website.


Using the NEOS Server for Gurobi/GAMS


The user must submit a model in GAMS format to solve an optimization problem. For security purposes, the model submitted must adhere to the following conventions:

If you are unfamiliar with GAMS, the GAMS Documentation includes a GAMS Tutorial and User's Guide. Examples of models in GAMS format can be found in the GAMS model library.

By default, the NEOS Server limits the amount of output generated in the listing file by turning off the symbol and unique element list, symbol cross references, and restricting the rows and columns listed to zero. This behavior can be changed by specifying the appropriate options in the model file. See the documentation on GAMS output for further information.

You may optionally submit an options file if you wish to override the default parameter settings for the solver. Currently, the NEOS Server can only use optfile=1 with GAMS input. Therefore, any model that specifies a different options file will not work as intended.

Web Submission Form
Model File
Upload the GAMS model file.
Options File
The solver options file is optional. If provided, the statement <modelname>.optfile = 1 ; is required before the solve statement in your model file. Only optfile = 1 is supported, however, options also may be specified within the model input file (see the GAMS documentation).
Parameters File
A secondary parameters file may be uploaded to NEOS. This file is optional. Note that some settings are overwritten by NEOS default settings. (See GAMS Call and CL Parameters for more details.)
GDX File
Optional GDX file for inputs. This file will be renamed to "in.gdx". The model must include "$GDXIN in.gdx" to load this file.
GAMS Restart File
A GAMS restart file can be submitted to NEOS. (See GAMS Save and Restart for more details.)
Return GDX output
Check the box to have the solver return a compressed GDX file that contains all of the symbols in the model.
Return GAMS listing file
Check the box to include the GAMS listing file in returned output.
Return log file
If the box is checked, the log file containing information generated by the solver will be returned with the output.
Comments
