Nonlinear solver for CPLEX

Add nonlinear optimization capability to CPLEX. Many real-life models are nonlinear by nature. CPLEX solver requires a linear model to work. A good nonlinear solver can often times overperform a linearized form of a real-life model. Having a nonli...

Add Python 3.12 and 3.13 binary wheel distributions for CPLEX

The Python Package Index only contains distributions of CPLEX for 3.11 (see https://pypi.org/project/cplex/#files). Please upload wheels for Python 3.12 and 3.13.

Interface between CPLEX and .Net CORE 5 on LINUX

We are developing applications using .Net CORE 5. This is a great language to develop solution on either Windows or Linux. We have no issues using CPLEX with Windows as we have the cp_wrap_cpp_dotnet2010.dll running but we miss a Linux version of ...

Restore documentation to CPLEX Studio installer

CPLEX Studio 22.1.2 did away with the "doc" folder containing documentation for the components, including in particular the Javadoc documentation for the Java API to CPLEX. Having a local copy of the reference manuals is desirable when working off...

OPL language enhancements : cannot slice with nested constraints on subTuples

I've been a happy user of OPL language, which has lots of wonderful features. However, there is one remaining recurrent issue in data modeling, which prevents some intuitive modeling. This is called "cannot slice with nested constraints on subTupl...

Add maximal delay constraint for startBeforeStart, startBeforeEnd, ... constraints

I often have a constraint between interval variables that limit the maximum delay between the start/end and start/end of interval variables. I'd like a native, efficient method for implementing this constraint. I currently use constraints using fu...

Add git support to CPLEX Optimization Studio

We request to add on-prem GitHub integration into IBM CPLEX Optimization Studio to version control OPL models, datasets, and options files. We’d like to add functionality to clone a repository, commit/sync to a repository, to create/switch between...

Produce log during OPL Extract phase similar to Solve Engine Log

Many OPL real-world optimisations spend a large proportion of the overall solve time performing extraction/generation and there is no log of what is happening during this time. There should be a log produced during Extract similar to the Engine Lo...

Add Apple Silicon builds of Python binary wheels for CPLEX

The Python package for cplex on the Python Package Index (https://pypi.org/project/cplex/#files) only provides macOS binaries for x86_64, not for Apple Silicon. Please upload binary wheels for Apple Silicon. In my industry (astronomy, astrophysics...

Ability to control cplex memory consumption

Nowadays optimization runs are more and more conducted in the cloud, in kubernetes environments. In kubernetes, the processes run inside containers in what are called pods. To prevent a pod to be killed when the node (machine) capacity is exceeded...
