Google CP Solver is available!

This is my first scoop!
You can find the source code of the Google CP solver at this address
https://code.google.com/p/or-tools/
you can checkout a read only copy anonymously over HTTP:

svn checkout http://or-tools.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ or-tools-read-only
If you want to be informed about the future development dont' forget to become a member of the or-tools group:

Now, you can ask for a review :-) or better tell me what you think (not discuss about the fact that you were already aware of this project)

  2. Well, interesting... I am glad you've decided to open source this. I will definitely take a look.
    Do you know if anybody is working on Java and/or .NET bindings for it? In the Java world, there is a JSR effort on standardizing the interface of CP tools to the Java environment. No such effort exists - that I know of - in the .NET work, but well, the Java implementation could be probably trivially ported.
    Thanks.

  3. Thanks.
    The code has just been released. We have already a Python binding using SWIG. We will release a Java binding soon. I hope .NET is not that different when using SWIG.

  4. A comparison with, for instance, NumberJack/Mistral (whether through their respective python bindings or directly in C++) would be verrrrry nice...

    - richesse/simplicité de l'API
    - heuristiques/contraintes globales disponibles
    - efficacité
    - ...

  5. Hmmm, sorry for the mixed language ;)

    - richness/simplicity of the API
    - available heuristics, available global constraints
    - efficiency
    - ...

  6. Would be good if this worked with google docs spreadsheet, a bit like the tool at ww.solver.com works with excel. It is a perfect cloud computing tool, as optimizers can compete in the cloud.
