IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio Preview Edition Trial provides the most convenient way to learn optimization and constraint programming modeling for planning and scheduling. It speeds development and deployment of optimization models, combining leading engines for mathematical programming and constraint programming with a tightly integrated IDE and modeling language. The preview edition allows time- and problem size-limited use of all of the product’s features for evaluation purposes.
Teachers and students wanting to learn optimization modeling and use the results in academic projects should visit the ILOG Optimization in the IBM Academic Initiative, where they can obtain a full version of CPLEX Optimization Studio at no charge. Students can use the limited size CPLEX Optimization Studio Preview Edition Trial or can request a copy of the full version from a teacher who is a member of the IBM Academic Initiative.
Customers requiring the capability to solve large problems for testing performance on a specific problem basis may request an extended evaluation. Your request will be reviewed for appropriateness, as determined by IBM, and you may be contacted by an IBM sales representative. If your request is approved, you will be sent an e-mail containing an evaluation license for your review and acceptance, and once accepted and returned, you will be sent the necessary license key and instructions for downloading the software. The extended evaluation is not intended for teachers and students, who should obtain CPLEX Optimization Studio through the IBM Academic Initiative.
- Develop, debug, test, tune and deploy optimization models
- Solve mathematical programming, constraint programming and constraint-based scheduling models with IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizers
- Data and Run management: Utilize major relational database products and spreadsheets for data sources. Model/data separation allows a model to switch between data sources facilitating migration through test and deployment phases.
- Conflict detection/display and recommended conflict resolution: Detect and display conflicting constraints in infeasible models using IBM CPLEX Optimizer’s Conflict Refiner. Relax constraints based on user defined priorities.
- On-demand demos, tutorials, articles, forums, web casts and newsletters
- Web-based Technical support
- The evaluation period for this trial is 90 days. All of the product's features are enabled to solve limited-size problems. Users requiring the ability to evaluate larger problems should contact their IBM ILOG sales representative for an extended evaluation version of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio.
- Latest version IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio 12.4 offers improved access to predictive analytics tools with the connector to IBM SPSS Modeler. The connector enables CPLEX Optimization Studio to read data directly from SPSS Modeler streams and to visualize SPSS streams in CPLEX Optimization Studio's integrated development environment. This makes an integrated modeling environment for prescriptive and predictive analytics available to professionals using multiple advanced techniques. The CPLEX Optimizers offer significant performance gains both for mathematical- and constraint-programming. Additional enhancements include computation of dual values for second-order cone constraints in quadratic models, used especially in finance applications, and deterministic parallel search for constraint programming models, used especially in detailed scheduling. A new component, IBM ILOG CPLEX Enterprise Server, provides the capability to deploy OPL projects in enterprise environments using a client-server architecture, separating the computationally intensive algorithms of the CPLEX Optimizers onto dedicated hardware to alleviate the burden on more routine data handling and user interface tasks on database servers and desktop clients.
