XpressMP

The Xpress-MP 2003 optimization system also accepts MPS file input. The Xpress-Optimizer can solve linear, integer, quadratic or mixed integer quadratic programming problems (LP, MIP, QP, MIQP).

We also encourage you to consider using the Xpress-Mosel language interface to the NEOS Server. The Xpress-Mosel language includes the features of a standard programming language, such as loops (forall, while, repeat/until), conditions (if/then/else, case) and procedures/functions, allowing you to perform complex operations, and even algorithms or heuristics that make repeated calls to the Optimizer. The Mosel model may also include statements to set Optimizer control parameters to non-default values.

Mosel may also be used in the manner of a standard modeling language, to export the problem described to an MPS format matrix file. This file can be input manually into the Xpress-Optimizer or a number of other linear or integer programming solvers. For some brief background on algorithms and software for linear and integer programming, the reader is directed to the Optimization Tree area on the NEOS Guide.

Using the NEOS Server with Xpress-MP

To solve a linear programming problem using MPS as input, you need only submit the MPS file. You may also include a list of Xpress-MP commands to customize your use of the optimizer. Visit the Dash Optimization site to register for access to the user manuals.

This NEOS solver executes on a Sun workstation. Sun, Sun Microsystems, the Sun Logo and the Powered by Sun Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.

MPS file:

You can also submit a parameter file, in Xpress-MP's format, if you wish to override the default parameter settings.
(Your file will be scanned for settings that do not conform to our operational policy for this solver. The possibly modified file will be returned with your output.)
parameter file:

You may specify that your objective should be maximized (the default is minimization).
Maximize?:

You may specify whether your solution should be included or suppressed (the default is to include the solution).
Suppress solution in results?:
