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...

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...

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...

Extend CPLEX for Matlab to support the Matlab Compiler

CPLEX for MATLAB is an extension to IBM® ILOG® CPLEX Optimizers that allows a user to define optimization problems and solve them within MATLAB's development environment. However, an optimisation module developped with CPLEX for MATLAB and compile...

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...

a new parameter to control to force MIPStart if the variables are feasible

CPLEX choose to use MIPStart or not accoring to the heuristic. But sometimes the user think MIPStart values as particular variables is the best way to solve the problem. So we’d like to request a new parameter to control to force MIPStart if the v...

JSON File Read for OPL

Many Industries have started using JSON file as a primary data format. However OPL Cplex yet does not provide a direct accessibility to JSON file. People who use doCplexCloud have the accessibility. But other people, who do not use doCplexCloud, c...

CPLEX object create by oplrun and concert shall be equal

the CPLEX object created by an OPL model is not the same as tyhe CPLEX object created with concert technology.It creates limitation and complexity that prevent people to use OPL in many cases, such advance algorithms with call backs manual cuts......
