Optimization made faster and easier
AMPL sets the standard for modeling and deployment of large-scale optimization in applications of all kinds
Express models in AMPL the way you think about them while maintaining the ability to change your data or solver without the need to modify your model. AMPL’s fast interpreter and mature APIs support development, deployment, and maintenance of the most challenging applications.
Describe optimization problems in a declarative language based directly on the familiar terminology of algebra. AMPL gets you started fast without the distractions and complications of programming.
Process your model and data with lightning speed to generate thousands or millions of variables and constraints. AMPL’s translation routines are tuned to the needs of optimization.
Integrate your optimization models with spreadsheet and relational sources, locally or in the cloud. AMPL’s table handlers establish fast connections for data input and result output.
Try out the features of widely used solvers, without changing your model or data. AMPL’s standard interface lets you focus first on modeling and then choose the optimization engine that meets your needs.
Build optimization into your enterprise systems or software products, using AMPL’s application programming interfaces. AMPL offers fast connections to Python, R, C++, C#, MATLAB, and Java, while maintaining your model in its original, readable form.
Master the AMPL language and system quickly with our introductory materials, examples, and documentation. The AMPL book provides a complete tutorial introduction (and it’s great for teaching, too).
Count on our team to help you in all stages of application building. Our technical staff provides expert advice on AMPL, solvers, and optimization. Our consulting services can help you build and integrate your models.
Trial and purchase AMPL and your choice of the best solvers, from a single source. We provide support and updates for the top linear-quadratic, nonlinear, and global solvers, both commercial and open-source.
Developed for practitioners
Prototype, develop, share, and hand off full applications with ease
AMPL has been developed for the real-world modeler who needs to manage all phases of the optimization development cycle without sacrificing computational performance. AMPLs straightforward language lets you formulate optimization models the way you think about them, and makes model logic accessible to your team members.
Straightforward, powerful integration
AMPL's APIs connect modelers and developers
Our comprehensive Application Programming Interface provides an object-oriented callable library that lets you access AMPL models and run AMPL commands from broader applications. Data and results can be exchanged directly and efficiently between AMPL’s model entities and data structures in Python, R, C++, C#, MATLAB, and Java. Deploy AMPL models, embed AMPL in enterprise applications, program complex algorithmic schemes, and more.
Optimization without limitations
Innovative research starts here
Optimization has become a paradigm for an exceedingly diverse variety of problems in all fields of engineering as well as in physical and biological sciences, economics, and management.
Full-featured AMPL packages, including the most popular solvers, are available for academic research at discounts of 90% of the standard price list. Get our Community Edition to use AMPL for free (*internet connection required) with open-source solvers. AMPL also supports the free-for-research offerings of commercial solvers.
Educating the next generation of modelers
We make it simple to learn and teach
AMPLs intuitive syntax, extensive resources allow educators to teach with ease and independent learners to start modeling on their own.
Whether you’re an experienced modeler or are new to optimization, use this comprehensive, tutorial guide to get started building optimization models in AMPL.
Instructors can readily configure and distribute bundles of AMPL and popular solvers. They’re easy to install and operate without limitation throughout the duration of your course.
