- GAMSModeling language
GAMS is a modeling system for mathematical optimization that lets users formulate complex problems in a high-level language and run them with different commercial and open-source solvers. All solvers are packaged in a single distribution, making it easy to switch between them and giving customers one point of contact for licensing and support. It also has a Python interface -GAMSPy- for building and solving mathematical optimization models using the GAMS technology stack. It keeps the modeling concepts of GAMS (sets, parameters, variables, equations) but exposes them as Python classes and functions. This allows modelers to stay in the Python ecosystem while using mature GAMS solvers and workflows.
