JuMP

Julia for Mathematical Programming

JuMP is a domain-specific modeling language for mathematical programming embedded in Julia. It currently supports a number of open-source and commercial solvers (Bonmin, Cbc, Clp, Couenne, CPLEX, ECOS, GLPK, Gurobi, Ipopt, KNITRO, MOSEK, NLopt, SCS) for a variety of problem classes, including linear programming, (mixed) integer programming, second-order conic programming, semidefinite programming, and nonlinear programming.

JuMP makes it easy to specify and solve optimization problems without expert knowledge, yet at the same time allows experts to implement advanced algorithmic techniques such as exploiting efficient hot-starts in linear programming or using callbacks to interact with branch-and-bound solvers. JuMP is also fast - benchmarking has shown that it can create problems at similar speeds to special-purpose commercial tools such as AMPL while maintaining the expressiveness of a generic high-level programming language. JuMP can be easily embedded in complex work flows including simulations and web servers.

Our documentation includes an installation guide, quick-start guide, and reference manual. The juliaopt-notebooks repository contains a small but growing collection of contributed examples. Submissions are welcome!
