Google OR-Tools is a free and open-source software suite developed by Google for solving linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), constraint programming (CP), vehicle routing (VRP), and related optimization problems.[3][4]

OR-Tools is a set of components written in C++ but provides wrappers for Java, .NET and Python.

It is distributed under the Apache License 2.0.[5]

History[]

OR-Tools was created by Laurent Perron in 2011.[6]

In 2014, Google's open source linear programming solver, GLOP, was released as part of OR-Tools.[1]

The CP-SAT solver[7] bundled with OR-Tools won a total of eleven gold medals between 2018 and 2020 in the MiniZinc Challenge,[8] an international constraint programming competition.

Features[]

The OR-Tools supports a variety of programming languages, including:

  • Object-oriented interfaces for C++[9]
  • A Java wrapper package[10]
  • A .NET and .NET Framework wrapper package[11]
  • A Python wrapper package[12]

OR-Tools supports a wide range of problem types,[13][3] among them:

It supports the FlatZinc modeling language.[18]
