SCIP

Solving Constraint Integer Programs

About

SCIP is currently one of the fastest non-commercial solvers for mixed integer programming (MIP) and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP). It is also a framework for constraint integer programming and branch-cut-and-price. It allows for total control of the solution process and the access of detailed information down to the guts of the solver.



By default, SCIP comes with a bouquet of different plugins for solving MIPs and MINLPs.

What is SCIP?

A similar technique is used for solving both Integer Programs and Constraint Programs: the problem is successively divided into smaller subproblems (branching) that are solved recursively.

On the other hand, Integer Programming and Constraint Programming have different strengths: Integer Programming uses LP relaxations and cutting planes to provide strong dual bounds, while Constraint Programming can handle arbitrary (non-linear) constraints and uses propagation to tighten domains of variables.

SCIP is a framework for Constraint Integer Programming oriented towards the needs of mathematical programming experts who want to have total control of the solution process and access detailed information down to the guts of the solver. SCIP can also be used as a pure MIP and MINLP solver or as a framework for branch-cut-and-price.

SCIP is implemented as C callable library and provides C++ wrapper classes for user plugins. It can also be used as a standalone program to solve mixed integer programs given in various formats such as MPS, LP, flatzinc, CNF, OPB, WBO, PIP, etc. Furthermore, SCIP can directly read ZIMPL models.

An outline of SCIP and its algorithmic approach can be found in

A more detailed description of SCIP can be found in

The nonlinear solving features for global optimization of convex and nonconvex MINLPs are described in

What is the SCIP Optimization Suite?

The SCIP Optimization Suite is a toolbox for generating and solving mixed integer nonlinear programs, in particular mixed integer linear programs, and constraint integer programs. It consists of the following parts:

SCIP mixed integer (linear and nonlinear) programming solver and constraint programming framework
SoPlex linear programming solver
ZIMPL mathematical programming language
UG parallel framework for mixed integer (linear and nonlinear) programs
GCG generic branch-cut-and-price solver

The user can easily generate linear, mixed integer and mixed integer quadratically constrained programs with the modeling language ZIMPL. The resulting model can directly be loaded into SCIP and solved. In the solution process SCIP may use SoPlex as underlying LP solver.

Since all five components are available in source code and free for academic use, they are an ideal tool for academic research purposes and for teaching mixed integer programming.

Download the SCIP Optimization Suite (Linux). Previous releases and versions for different platforms are available here.

Features

  • very fast standalone solver for linear programming (LP), mixed integer programming (MIP), and mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP)
  • framework for branching, cutting plane separation, propagation, pricing, and Benders' decomposition,
  • large C-API, C++ wrapper classes for user plugins
  • interfaces to other applications and programming languages (contained in source code packages or available from github.com/SCIP-interfaces):
  • open LP solver support:
  • highly flexible through many possible user plugins:
    • constraint handlers to implement arbitrary constraints,
    • variable pricers to dynamically create problem variables,
    • domain propagators to apply constraint independent propagations on the variables' domains,
    • separators for cutting planes based on the LP relaxation; benefit from a dynamic cut pool management,
    • relaxators can be included to provide relaxations (e.g., semidefinite relaxations or Lagrangian relaxations) and dual bounds in addition to the LP relaxation, working in parallel or interleaved
    • plugins to apply Benders' decomposition and implement Benders' cuts,
    • primal heuristics to search for feasible solutions with specific support for probing and diving,
    • node selectors to guide the search,

    • presolvers to simplify the solved problem,
    • file readers to parse different input file formats,
    • event handlers to be informed on specific events, e.g., after a node was solved, a specific variable changes its bounds, or a new primal solution is found,
    • display handlers to create additional columns in the solver's output.
    • dialog handlers to extend the included command shell.
    • conflict analysis can be applied to learn from infeasible subproblems
    • dynamic memory management to reduce the number of operation system calls with automatic memory leakage detection in debug mode

Download

The files you can download here come without warranty. Use at your own risk!

You can either download SCIP alone or the SCIP Optimization Suite (recommended), a complete source code bundle of SCIP, SoPlex, ZIMPL, GCG, and UG.

You can also download precompiled executables of SCIP with which you can solve MIP, MIQCP, CIP, SAT, or PBO instances in MPS, LP, RLP, ZIMPL, flatzinc, CNF, OPB, WBO, PIP, or CIP format.
Note that these executables do not include the readline features (i.e., command line editing and history) due to license issues. However, you can download the free readline wrapper rlwrap to provide this missing feature to the executables.

Here are the MIPLIB 2010 MPS files assembled as an archive: miplib2010-benchmark.tgz.

Platforms

SCIP is completely implemented in C. The code should compile with any C compiler that supports the C99 standard.

We have tested SCIP with compilers from

  • GNU
  • Compaq
  • Intel
  • SUN

on 32- and 64-bit versions of

  • Linux
  • Mac
  • Windows
  • SunOS
  • Android

SCIP is also available on the NEOS Server, where you can post your model in LP or MPS format, or as an AMPL, GAMS, or ZIMPL model and let the NEOS Server solve it with SCIP linked to CPLEX.

Hints for SUN platforms

  • If you are using the GNU compiler and you experience a strange behavior of your program (segmentation faults), you might try a reduce the optimization level in make.sunos.sparc.gnu.opt by changing -O3 to -O2.
  • If problems occur with STL code, you might change to a different implementation by adding -library=stlport4 to CXX_COMPILER_FLAGS. (Note: There are different implementations of the STL on SUN platforms.)

Cooperation

SCIP is developed in cooperation with

Solving MIPs Exactly over the Rational Numbers

As all standard MIP solvers, SCIP works with finite precision binary floating-point arithmetic. This allows efficient computations, but also introduces rounding errors. To some extent, rounding errors can be handled by using tolerances at certain parts of the solving process (e.g., when testing the feasibility of primal solutions w.r.t. constraints and bounds). However, this by no means guarantees truely correct results.

For most applications, the errors can be neglected. This situation changes fundamentally, if MIPs are used to study theoretical problems, if feasibility questions are considered, and if wrong answers can have legal consequences. For such applications, an exact MIP solver is required.

There is now a beta-version of SCIP available (based on SCIP 3.0.0) which can solve MIP instances exactly over the rational numbers. So far, the branch-and-bound algorithm of SCIP has been adapted for exact MIP solving. It works with safe primal and dual bounds and supports all branching plugins of SCIP. All additional plugins, like separators, primal heuristics, and presolvers must not be included (adding them might introduce rounding errors).

This project is supported by the DFG Priority Program 1307 "Algorithm Engineering".


Authors

Notes

  • This is a beta-version.
  • The code only supports solving MIPs.
  • The code can only be used as a black box solver.

Download

  • scip-3.0.0-ex-vipr: Supports solving MIPs exactly and printing certificate files.
  • scip-3.0.0-ex: Original version that does not support certificate printing.

Both versions can be compiled in exact solving mode or in standard solving mode using floating-point arithmetic. In the latter case, you will get the same solver/behavior as with the official distribution of SCIP 3.0.0.

For information, see "Installation description for SCIP in exact solving mode" in the contained INSTALL file and "How to use SCIP in exact solving mode" in your local doxygen docu (via "make doc").
