Gurobi Optimizer

The World's Fastest Solver

Input your complex business challenge as a mathematical model, and our Gurobi Optimizer software will output a detailed action plan.

Get More Than Speed

Speed is king—and we’ve backed it with enterprise features and expert support.

Unmatched Performance

With our powerful algorithms, you can add complexity to your model to better represent the real world, and still solve your model within the available time.

Support for All Major Problem Types

Model your problem the way that works best for you—including LP and MILP and convex and non-convex QP, MIQP, QCP, and MIQCP, as well as SOCP and bi-linear problems.

Responsive, Expert Support

Our PhD-level experts are here when you need them—ready to provide comprehensive guidance and technical support. They bring deep expertise in working with commercial models and are there to assist you throughout the process of implementing and using Gurobi.

Flexible Licensing

Deploy your model where and how you want. One user can solve a single model on one machine, or many users can solve multiple models using many machines. You can also solve models locally or on an internal or public cloud.

Web License Service

With the Gurobi Web License Service (WLS), you can deploy Gurobi almost anywhere—across Amazon Web Services (ECS and EKS) and Microsoft Azure (AKS) clouds and container environments on Docker and Kubernetes. Compared to other licensing options, WLS provides unique advantages for some use cases because:

Ready. Set. Solve.

With Gurobi, the world's leading organizations make fast, confident, unbiased decisions every day—even amid rapid change and global disruption.

We Speak Your

Language

Lightweight Programming Interfaces

Integrate Gurobi into your applications easily, using the languages you know best. Our programming interfaces are designed to be lightweight, modern, and intuitive, to minimize your learning curve while maximizing your productivity.

Rich Python Modeling Environment

Our Python API includes higher-level modeling constructs that make it easier to build optimization models. Choose from Anaconda Python distributions with pre-built libraries to support application development, Spyder for graphical development, and Jupyter for notebook-style development.

Meet Your Powerhouse Solver

What makes a solver “robust”? Its numerical stability, the correctness of results, scalability with problem size and difficulty, and solve times over a range of model instances. But you can just call it, “Gurobi.”

Nonlinear Solving

Nonlinear solving can help us find solutions to equations or systems of equations that involve nonlinear relationships between variables.
In mathematics, common examples of nonlinear expressions include equations with variables that are raised to powers greater than one, or that involve trigonometric functions, exponentials, logarithms, or other nonlinear operations.

Parallel Optimization

We designed our code to fully exploit parallelism. It’s not a sequential code that was parallelized, but a fundamentally parallel code that you can also choose to run sequentially.

Distributed Optimization

Distribute your computational load across several processing units, reducing your solve time and keeping costs low.

Infeasibility Analysis

Gurobi helps you quickly identify exactly where infeasibility exists in your model, so you can fix it and get back on track.

Multi-Objective Optimization

Gurobi supports models with multiple, competing objectives—with flexibility in how they are prioritized.

Multiple Scenario Analysis

Use Gurobi as a “digital twin” for your business—enabling you to explore the business impact of certain decisions or what-if scenarios, before they happen.

Parameter Tuning

When confronted with the task of choosing parameter values that might lead to better performance on a model, the long list of Gurobi parameters may seem intimidating. To simplify the process, we include a simple automated parameter tuning tool

Solution Pools

While Gurobi is designed to identify your single, proven-optimal solution, you can also tweak the parameters so you can find other, non-optimal solutions along the way.

Piecewise-Linear Objectives and Constraints

Directly solve models with convex, piecewise-linear objective functions, to better capture certain non-linear problems.

Simple General Constraints

Express common modeling constructs like MIN/MAX, ABS, AND/OR, and IF/THEN at a higher level, making such models easier to build and maintain.

General Constraints

By supporting variable relationships directly in the Gurobi API, we simplify the modeling process—performing the transformation to a corresponding MIP formulation automatically and transparently during the solution process.

Platform Choice

Gurobi Optimizer supports a broad range of computing platforms—across Windows, Mac, Linux, and AIX.
