Support Gurobi Compute Server running in the cloud #41

Closed shankari closed 8 years ago

shankari commented 8 years ago

Gurobi now has a compute server option in which a gurobi server can be provisioned on a cloud platform such as AWS and connected to using a client, which could be a laptop or any other server. It doesn't look like Numberjack supports such a configuration since it expects Gurobi to be installed on the same server as numberjack. http://www.gurobi.com/documentation/6.5/cloud-guide/aws/configurations.html

Is there a chance that this can be addressed?

Hi, we do not plan to add support for this but maybe you can fork the code and try for yourself. We would welcome this as pull request.
