Google OR-Tools is a free and open-source software suite developed by Google for solving linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), constraint programming (CP), vehicle routing (VRP), and related optimization problems. [3]

Contents

OR-Tools is a set of components written in C++ but provides wrappers for Java, .NET and Python.

It is distributed under the Apache License 2.0. [4]

History

OR-Tools was created by Laurent Perron in 2011. [5]

In 2014, Google's open source linear programming solver, GLOP, was released as part of OR-Tools. [1]

The CP-SAT solver [6] bundled with OR-Tools has been consistently winning gold medals in the MiniZinc Challenge, [7] an international constraint programming competition.

Features

The OR-Tools supports a variety of programming languages, including:

OR-Tools supports a wide range of problem types, [13] [3] among them:

It supports the FlatZinc modeling language. [17]
