On October 21, Alibaba Dharma Institute released a new version of mindopt solver, which added key functions such as "black box optimization" and "online optimization" on the basis of the original "linear programming", and opened a single version download to provide free optimization capabilities for enterprises and scientific researchers. Solver is a software for solving mathematical programming problems. It is widely used in cloud computing, retail, finance, manufacturing, transportation, energy and other fields. According to Alibaba Dharma Institute, the black box module of the solver mindopt adds two efficient algorithms for high-dimensional black box problems, Zoro and cobbo, which can get feasible solutions faster, so as to help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency. Alibaba Dharma Academy said that for decades, high-performance commercial solver technology has always been dominated by a few European and American enterprises. The independently developed solver mindopt is first used for Alibaba cloud computing resource scheduling optimization, which can save hundreds of millions of yuan a year. Since the end of December 2020, the solver of Dharma Institute has been tested free to the society, which is also the first free and open commercial solver in China.
