Request for CPLEX #150

Closed scottsisco closed 5 years ago

scottsisco commented 5 years ago

Ticket Number:172627

Orginal Message: Hi, I would like to use this software B-SCITE on rhino

https://github.com/smalikic/B-SCITE

they require CPLEX Optimization Studio Version 12.5.1 or later

do we have it on rhino?

In fact, could you please help me install B-SCITE in cluster?

Here are some description

B-SCITE is currently supported on Linux OS. Installation requires (i) C++ compiler (we are currently using GNU Compiler Collection - gcc version 5.2.0) (ii) CPLEX Optimization Studio Version 12.5.1 or later. In makefile, located inside folder src, Variable CC encoding path to C++ compiler and variables related to the CPLEX Optimization Studio (CPLEX_DIRECTORY and CPLEX_BUILD) should be set accordingly. Currently, we also provide an example of how these variables are set in our system. Once their values are updated, running single command "make" from within source directory compiles the source-code producing the executable bscite.exe. Details of the input data and running bscite.exe are provided below.

I also would like to use CPLEX because it (or Gurobi) is needed by MICOM:

New Comment: Hi HelpDesk,

Is there any update or time line for installing CPLEX? I've been advised to use a different solver for another software application as well, called MAMBO.

Thanks, Keith

Note: I provided the following response in ticket 173571

Hi Keith,

I will add your comment to https://github.com/FredHutch/easybuild-life-sciences/issues/150 where this topic is being tracked. John Dey, who does the application installations for the SciComp team, is at an easybuild conference in Europe. He will be back on Monday and will then begin making his way through his ticket backlog.

Thanks, Scott

CPLEX is only available for free to educational institutions, which the Fred Hutch is. I have applied twice to IBM and have been denied both times. I will continue to try and contact IBM for access to CPLEX.

we have Gurobi installed and working. The customer has been notified.
