  • Course information
  • KTH course web page
  • Information on how to register for the exam can be found here.
  • Information on exam placement can be found here.
  • GAMS at the KTH linux computers.
    • Type "module add gams" or add it to a suitable login file.
    • Use an editor, for example emacs, to create/modify model files (".gms") and reading output files (".lst").
    • Put the model files in your home catalog. Run GAMS from that catalog, e.g. "gams trans1".
    • Please note that there is a whole library of example files at GAMS subdirectory "modlib".
  • GAMS on your own computer.
    • The demo version of GAMS (which we use) can be downloaded from the GAMS website.
  • GAMS resources
  • To solve larger problems than what the demo version of GAMS can handle.
    • There is an option to solve optimization problems over the internet by NEOS (http://www.neos-server.org/). Here you can send for example GAMS files and obtain access to various solvers without the size limitations of the demo version. This is a very useful tool. We recommend the solvers CPLEX, FICO-Xpress, Gurobi or MOSEK for solving LP models as well as MIP models on NEOS.
    • NEOS is usually reliable, but please note that you will not be allowed to hand in late because of possibly waiting for answer from NEOS. Please do not wait to the last moment with submitting jobs.
