Workshop

Session: Beans, Bots & Better Solutions: A Gurobi Workshop

Presenters: Everett Dutton, Lindsay Montanari, Larry Snyder, Anna Collins, Xavier Nodet

Location: Magnolia 3

Date & Time: Sunday, April 12 | 3:00 pm – 4:45 pm

Details: Join us for an engaging and informative session that highlights the latest innovations and practical techniques across the Gurobi ecosystem. We’llkick off with a brief welcome and agenda overview, along with pointers to other must‑see Gurobi sessions. Next, get introduced to Gurobean, with an overview of its purpose and capabilities from the team behind it. We’ll then dive into heuristics and strategies for finding high‑quality solutions early, focusing on approaches you can apply to improve performance and results in real-world models. The session continues with updates on Gurobot and a walkthrough of other new features, showcasing how these tools can enhance productivity and model understanding. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A, giving you the chance to ask questions and connect the dots across the topics covered. Whether you’re looking for new tools, practical insights, or what’s coming next, this session offers something for every Gurobi user.

Technology Showcase

Session: AI Innovations in Optimization

Presenters: Caroline Weinberg and Jerry Yurchisin

Location: Camellia 2

Date & Time: Monday, April 13 | 10:00 am – 10:50 am

Details:
The Gurobi AI Innovation Lab is developing numerous methods to integrate AI and Optimization. These include Optimization Proxies to dramatically accelerate times to find good solutions and tools to facilitate both the model creation process and the interpretation of the subsequent optimization results. This presentation will describe results from methods already underway, as well as early findings from methods still in development.

Multi-Vendor Workshop

Session: Understanding the Potential Role of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) for Linear and Mixed Integer Programming within Industrial Strength Optimization(ISO)

Presenters: Irv Lustig (Moderator), NVIDIA, FICO, Gurobi (Ed Klotz)

Location: Coming Soon

Date & Time: Tuesday, April 14 | 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm

Details: When working on large scale optimization models, keeping the model solvable with enough detail is challenging and critical to successful industrial strength optimization (ISO). Historically this gap is bridged by new advances in optimization which make much larger models still solvable. Two recent advances that are covered in this session are GPUs and the PDHG algorithm whose value for large scale MILP is being investigated. Attendees will leave the session with a basic understanding of GPUs and PDHG, current views on challenges, benefits, and limitations for MILP as well as availability of solvers benefiting from GPUs. There will be speakers from FICO (Xpress), Gurobi, and Nvidia. The moderator is Irv Lustig. Ken Fordyce is organizing the workshop.
