In addition, Premium Solver Platform for the Mac also includes recent enhancements to the Windows version such as new parallelized algorithms to utilize all the power of your Mac’s multi-core processor.

Fully Compatible

Premium Solver Platform is 100% upwardly compatible with the standard Excel Solver.  You can use a familiar Solver Parameters and Solver Options dialog and your existing models can be solved with no changes, faster and more easily than before -- even if you use the new Evolutionary Solver or a Field-Installable Solver engine!  And your VBA code that uses the standard Solver will work as-is with Premium Solver Platform.

Greater Speed and Capacity

You'll be able to solve linear and quadratic programming problems with 40 times the number of variables (up to 8,000) as the standard Excel Solver, integer programming problems with 10 times as many variables, and general nonlinear problems with 2.5 times the number of decision variables and constraints.  Just as important, larger problems which took minutes or hours to solve with the standard Solver will often run from five to twenty times faster. Speed gains are especially noticeable on nonlinear problems of all kinds, and on linear problems with integer constraints -- where Premium Solver Platform can be ten to 200 times faster!

And Premium Solver Platform is easily expandable with Field-Installable Solver Engines to handle problems of virtually unlimited size.  Many users solve problems with hundreds of thousands of variables and constraints!
