And now, Frontline Systems is breaking new ground with our Solver Platform SDK -- making our full suite of Solvers, for a wide range of risk analysis and Monte Carlo simulation problems, and for every type and size of optimization problem, available to developers using today's most popular platforms and languages.  

Solver Platform SDK

Our "flagship" product for developers is the Solver Platform SDK.  It may well be all you need, because it can handle every type of optimization and simulation problem up to certain size limits:

Given the breadth and depth of its optimization capabilities alone, the SDK would be a great product.  But there's much more!  Other "callable library" optimizers emphasize fast solution times, but they can be difficult to use for a developer who doesn't have a PhD in operations research.  In contrast, the Solver Platform SDK emphasizes ease of use and fast development times!  The SDK features:

For Intranet, Web Server, or Web service applications, the Solver Platform SDK is ideal -- it's thread-safe, supporting multiple sessions concurrently; it's very high performance; and it offers Flexible Use Runtime licenses that don't require tracking of named users or client computers.  And it's easier than you think -- you can use Visual Studio-supplied Wizards with the SDK's Wizards to create a working Web server or Web service application in minutes!

Plug-in Solver Engines for Large-Scale Problems

If your optimization problem is likely to exceed the size limits of the Solver Platform SDK for the type of problem you want to solve, then you'll want to choose a Solver Engine that handles larger-scale problems of that specific type.

Even if your problem fits within the size limits of the Solver Platform SDK, you may find that you can obtain much faster solutions with one of our large-scale Solver Engines.  It makes sense to choose a Solver Engine that uses algorithms or methods most efficient for your type of problem, especially if the problem is larger size.

Note:  Every Frontline Systems Solver product will handle problems with integer variables, including variables subject to the "alldifferent" constraint.  If your problem involves many such variables, however, you may find much faster solutions using the Solver Engines found through the link "Integer and Constraint Programming Problems" above.

SDK and Solver Engine Licensing for Deployment

Do you plan to deploy your application to users within your organization, or to external customers?  Frontline's runtime licenses give you the right to embed the Solver Platform SDK or the Premium Solver Platform and -- if required -- one or more of our Solver Engines into your application, and duplicate or distribute copies, or make the application accessible to users on an Intranet or Web server, or via a Web service.  And our runtime license management options make it easy to monitor and control use of the software, using either Frontline-provided tools or your own tools.

If you need only one of the Solver Platform SDK's five Solvers -- or just one of our plug-in Solver Engines -- for deployment, you can still develop with the Solver Platform SDK.  Runtime licenses allow you to pay for only the Solver features you need in your application; they can be matched to your method of licensing or controlling use of your application software.  Click to find out more about SDK and Solver Engine runtime licensing.
