MANAGED SOLVER EXECUTION USING DIFFERENT SOLVER TYPES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936793 titled 'MANAGED SOLVER EXECUTION USING DIFFERENT SOLVER TYPES

Simplified Explanation

The multitenant solver execution service described in the abstract provides managed infrastructure for solving large-scale optimization problems. Here are some key points to explain this innovation:

• The service executes solver jobs on managed compute resources like virtual machines or containers.
• Compute resources can be automatically scaled based on client demand and are assigned to solver jobs in a serverless manner.
• Solver jobs can be initiated based on configured triggers.
• Users can select from different types of solvers, mix different solvers in a job, and translate a model from one solver to another.
• The service provides developer interfaces for running solver experiments, recommending solver types or settings, and suggesting model templates.
• Developers are relieved from managing infrastructure for running optimization solvers and can easily work with different solvers via a unified interface.

Original Abstract Submitted

A multitenant solver execution service provides managed infrastructure for defining and solving large-scale optimization problems. In embodiments, the service executes solver jobs on managed compute resources such as virtual machines or containers. The compute resources can be automatically scaled up or down based on client demand and are assigned to solver jobs in a serverless manner. Solver jobs can be initiated based on configured triggers. In embodiments, the service allows users to select from different types of solvers, mix different solvers in a solver job, and translate a model from one solver to another solver. In embodiments, the service provides developer interfaces to, for example, run solver experiments, recommend solver types or solver settings, and suggest model templates. The solver execution service relieves developers from having to manage infrastructure for running optimization solvers and allows developers to easily work with different types of solvers via a unified interface.
