Proposal for an Official CPLEX R Package for Seamless RStudio Integration

I’d like to suggest that IBM develop and maintain an official R package for the CPLEX solver. Today, R users must rely on a handful of hard-to-install third-party libraries, whereas competitors like Gurobi ship a polished “gurobi” package that ins...

Add support for .NET 6 and Linux OS in CPLEX APIs

We developed a product based on .NET 6 that relies on CPLEX core functionalities and we need to make it run both on Windows an Linux operating systems. The .NET 6 libraries are platform independent but the CPLEX Optimization Studio only provides a...

new DBlink for cplex OPL optimization studio

Dear developers. I thought that this idea either was already posted or perhaps is considered inside other idea related with ODX, but anyway I do want to ensure that next enhancement to cplex optimization studio get done: until opl 12.6.3. the fetc...

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 ...

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...

Superior approximation algorithm for finding Maximum (or large) Cliques in very large graphs. (Multi-Partite Graphs can be found)

Our maximum clique finding algorithm (that is polynomial in its run time) and which seems (from DIMACS benchmark tests) to run better than other methods that are presently available would be beneficial to IBM because it would allow you to solve co...

OPL shall generate concert model with column API

OPL fails at building very large scale models due to the fact that it uses a "row api" of concert : Variables are created and added then to the range constraints. Unfortunately, such API can become dramatically slow for very large models, and buil...
