OR-Tools is an open source software suite for optimization, tuned for tackling the world's toughest problems in vehicle routing, flows, integer and linear programming, and constraint programming.

After modeling your problem in the programming language of your choice, you can use any of a half dozen solvers to solve it: commercial solvers such as Gurobi or CPLEX, or open-source solvers such as SCIP, GLPK, or Google's GLOP and award-winning CP-SAT.

CP-SAT

  • Improvements to the no_overlap_2d constraint (presolve, propagation, and cuts)
  • Speedup feasibility jump and violation ls
  • Detect, store and use precedences, with their bounds (lb <= a * x + b * y <= ub) in presolve, propagation, and cuts
  • Cleanup and improve presolve
  • Deep improvements to routing cuts. Detect transition between nodes. Detect capacity constraints
