Supported Solvers
ruleopt
is designed to work with a variety of solvers. Here’s a detailed overview of the solvers that ruleopt
supports.
Gurobi and CPLEX
ruleopt also offers integration with high-performance, proprietary solvers like GurobiSolver
and CPLEXSolver
. These solvers work with their respective Python interfaces, gurobipy
for Gurobi and docplex
for CPLEX. It is important to note that both solvers require a valid license to use.
OR-Tools
In addition to the above, ruleopt
integrates with Google’s OR-Tools, offering access to a comprehensive suite of solvers. For users primarily interested in free solvers, we recommend starting with the default configuration provided by OR-Tools for simplicity and ease of use.
For the list of supported solvers through please see OR-Tools webpage.
Note
While OR-Tools supports a broad range of solvers, including Gurobi and CPLEX, setting up some solvers, especially the commercial ones or those disabled by default (GLPK, HiGHS), requires compiling OR-Tools from source. This process can be more complex but offers flexibility for users who need these specific solvers.
