There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: The Gurobi Solver
SPEAKER: Dr. Zonghao Gu
ABSTRACT:
The talk will begin with a brief introduction to Gurobi. This will be followed by a description of the product design both in terms of accessibility and the underlying algorithmic framework. This framework has been built from the ground up to provide maximum flexibility in exploiting modern strategies for solving mixed-integer programs (MIP). We will discuss our approaches to handling the key MIP issues in deterministic parallel, MIP search, cutting planes, simplex based warm-start for solving node relaxations etc. Finally, we will present computational results for the Gurobi MIP solver.
This is joint work with Bob Bixby and Ed Rothberg
