Hexaly against Gurobi on the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP): On the Traveling Salesman Problem, Hexaly reaches an average optimality gap of 0.3% in 1 minute of running time on the TSPLIB research benchmark with instances up to 10,000 cities. Gurobi fails to find decent solutions for instances with more than 300 customers. 🔗 Check the benchmark here: https://lnkd.in/eqFEPzns #optimization #operationsresearch

Hexaly against Gurobi, OR-Tools, jsprit (GraphHopper), and OptaPlanner on the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP): ➡️ Hexaly finds solutions close to the state of the art in 1 minute, even for instances with 1,000 customers. ➡️ Despite specializing in solving Vehicle Routing problems, OR-Tools delivers poor-quality solutions (> 5% gap), even for medium-sized instances; OptaPlanner and jsprit perform worse (>10% gap). ➡️ Gurobi fails to find decent solutions in 1 minute, even for small-sized instances; additional experiments show the results remain the same with 1 hour of computation. 🔗 Check the benchmark here: https://lnkd.in/etzyrd-8 #optimization #operationsresearch

Hexaly is thrilled to sponsor the 15th Metaheuristics International Conference this week in Lorient, France. Visit our booth to discover the latest features and applications of Hexaly 12.5 and explore our job opportunities! #optimization #operationsresearch

How does Hexaly perform against CP Optimizer, OR-Tools, Gurobi, and Cplex on the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP)? In this benchmark, we focus on large-scale instances of the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP): 1,000 jobs and 1,000 machines for 1,000,000 activities. Hexaly offers an innovative modeling approach based on interval and list variables, making the Job Shop Scheduling Problem (JSSP) modeling compact and straightforward. Then, Hexaly greatly outperforms traditional solvers and improves the research's best known solutions by an average of 7.4% within 60 seconds. 🔗 Dive deeper into the details, explore our blog post: https://lnkd.in/enurjcaM #optimization #operationsresearch #datascience
