It has been used in many applications from both academia and industry and is one of the leading non-commercial solvers. This paper highlights the new features of version 3.2 of the SCIP Optimization Suite. Version 3.2 was released in July 2015. This release comes with new presolving steps, primal heuristics, and branching rules within SCIP. In addition, version 3.2 includes a reoptimization feature and improved handling of quadratic constraints and special ordered sets. SoPlex can now solve LPs exactly over the rational number and performance improvements have been achieved by exploiting sparsity in more situations. UG has been tested successfully on 80,000 cores. A major new feature of UG is the functionality to parallelize a customized SCIP solver. GCG has been enhanced with a new separator, new primal heuristics, and improved column management. Finally, new and improved extensions of SCIP are presented, namely solvers for multi-criteria optimization, Steiner tree problems, and mixed-integer semidefinite programs.}, language = {en} } @misc{BestuzhevaBesanconChenetal., author = {Bestuzheva, Ksenia and Besan{\c{c}}on, Mathieu and Chen, Wei-Kun and Chmiela, Antonia and Donkiewicz, Tim and van Doornmalen, Jasper and Eifler, Leon and Gaul, Oliver and Gamrath, Gerald and Gleixner, Ambros and Gottwald, Leona and Graczyk, Christoph and Halbig, Katrin and Hoen, Alexander and Hojny, Christopher and van der Hulst, Rolf and Koch, Thorsten and L{\"u}bbecke, Marco and Maher, Stephen J. and Matter, Frederic and M{\"u}hmer, Erik and M{\"u}ller, Benjamin and Pfetsch, Marc E. and Rehfeldt, Daniel and Schlein, Steffan and Schl{\"o}sser, Franziska and Serrano, Felipe and Shinano, Yuji and Sofranac, Boro and Turner, Mark and Vigerske, Stefan and Wegscheider, Fabian and Wellner, Philipp and Weninger, Dieter and Witzig, Jakob}, title = {The SCIP Optimization Suite 8.0}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-85309}, abstract = {The SCIP Optimization Suite provides a collection of software packages for mathematical optimization centered around the constraint integer programming framework SCIP.

SCIP 7.0 provides additional support for decomposition algorithms. Besides im- provements in the Benders' decomposition solver of SCIP, user-defined decomposition structures can be read, which are used by the automated Benders' decomposition solver and two primal heuristics. Additionally, SCIP 7.0 comes with a tree size estimation that is used to predict the completion of the overall solving process and potentially trigger restarts.

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{BolusaniBesanconBestuzhevaetal., author = {Bolusani, Suresh and Besan{\c{c}}on, Mathieu and Bestuzheva, Ksenia and Chmiela, Antonia and Dion{\´i}sio, Jo{\~a}o and Donkiewicz, Tim and van Doornmalen, Jasper and Eifler, Leon and Ghannam, Mohammed and Gleixner, Ambros and Graczyk, Christoph and Halbig, Katrin and Hedtke, Ivo and Hoen, Alexander and Hojny, Christopher and van der Hulst, Rolf and Kamp, Dominik and Koch, Thorsten and Kofler, Kevin and Lentz, Jurgen and Manns, Julian and Mexi, Gioni and M{\"u}hmer, Erik and E.
