On March 9th, researchers from Zuse Institute Berlin, TU Darmstadt, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, and RWTH Aachen released the new version of the SCIP Optimization Suite 4.0.0. SCIP is currently one of the fastest non-commercial solvers for mixed-integer programming (MIP) and mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) that can be studied in source code. The SCIP Optimization Suite provides a flexible framework for research in constraint integer programming, branch-cut-and-price, and many more extensions.
With more than 10,000 downloads during 2016, the SCIP Optimization Suite is a popular tool among optimizers all over the world. The new release comprises many new features and enhancement, such as a new concurrent solving mode, new primal heuristics, support for partial strating solutions, and new interfaces for Julia and Python. An in-depth description can be found in the technical release report
