I need to use Integer Linear Programming API/Tool for my application. Though my application is in Java but I don’t mind calling an EXE (Tool) from Java providing input using file (MPS, etc).
My search analysis is as follows:
There are multiple Open Source and Commercial tools available to solve ILP Following I found and think are useful for my needs.
1. Gnu LP Kit(GLPK): I think this is the oldest and probably most stable and efficient
2. IP_Solve: Has good reviews about it.
3. JavaILP: Found this, but not much reviews about it
4. Apache Common-Math: Supports LP but not ILP, so ruled out.
5. Coin-OR
Can you please suggest which one shall be the best in terms of stability, efficiency, acceptance, etc
Regards
Thanks for the answer.
I am finally using LP Solve. The good things about this is (which may be present in other LP solver tools as well) is the timeout option. Thus I can get the optimal result in the mentioned timeout seconds.
