In its central component, the constraint integer programming solver SCIP, remarkable performance improvements have been achieved for solving mixed-integer linear and nonlinear programs. On MIPs, SCIP 5.0 is about 41 \% faster than SCIP 4.0 and over twice as fast on instances that take at least 100 seconds to solve. For MINLP, SCIP 5.0 is about 17 \% faster overall and 23 \% faster on instances that take at least 100 seconds to solve. This boost is due to algorithmic advances in several parts of the solver such as cutting plane generation and management, a new adaptive coordination of large neighborhood search heuristics, symmetry handling, and strengthened McCormick relaxations for bilinear terms in MINLPs. Besides discussing the theoretical background and the implementational aspects of these developments, the report describes recent additions for the other software packages connected to SCIP, in particular for the LP solver SoPlex, the Steiner tree solver SCIP-Jack, the MISDP solver SCIP-SDP, and the parallelization framework UG.}, language = {en} } @misc{GleixnerBastubbeEifleretal., author = {Gleixner, Ambros and Bastubbe, Michael and Eifler, Leon and Gally, Tristan and Gamrath, Gerald and Gottwald, Robert Lion and Hendel, Gregor and Hojny, Christopher and Koch, Thorsten and L{\"u}bbecke, Marco and Maher, Stephen J. and Miltenberger, Matthias and M{\"u}ller, Benjamin and Pfetsch, Marc and Puchert, Christian and Rehfeldt, Daniel and Schl{\"o}sser, Franziska and Schubert, Christoph and Serrano, Felipe and Shinano, Yuji and Viernickel, Jan Merlin and Walter, Matthias and Wegscheider, Fabian and Witt, Jonas T. and Witzig, Jakob}, title = {The SCIP Optimization Suite 6.0}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-69361}, abstract = {The SCIP Optimization Suite provides a collection of software packages for mathematical optimization centered around the constraint integer programming framework SCIP. This paper discusses enhancements and extensions contained in version 6.0 of the SCIP Optimization Suite. Besides performance improvements of the MIP and MINLP core achieved by new primal heuristics and a new selection criterion for cutting planes, one focus of this release are decomposition algorithms. Both SCIP and the automatic decomposition solver GCG now include advanced functionality for performing Benders' decomposition in a generic framework. GCG's detection loop for structured matrices and the coordination of pricing routines for Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition has been significantly revised for greater flexibility. Two SCIP extensions have been added to solve the recursive circle packing problem by a problem-specific column generation scheme and to demonstrate the use of the new Benders' framework for stochastic capacitated facility location. Last, not least, the report presents updates and additions to the other components and extensions of the SCIP Optimization Suite: the LP solver SoPlex, the modeling language Zimpl, the parallelization framework UG, the Steiner tree solver SCIP-Jack, and the mixed-integer semidefinite programming solver SCIP-SDP.}, language = {en} }
