Xpress Insight 5.1 Compute Interface - On-premises
Xpress Insight Compute Interface is the technology component that enables remote execution of Xpress Solver and Xpress Mosel. Insight Compute Interface is built on Xpress Insight 5, which is based on an industry-standard architecture that is scalable, secure, and resilient. Enterprises and users have a wide array of choices to integrate with the Xpress Solver and Mosel for remote execution.
The Xpress Insight 5.1 Compute Interface release focuses on resource management features that allow administrators and users fine-grained control over their computing resources.
Key features of this release include:

The Xpress Insight 5.1 Compute Interface release focuses on resource management features that allow administrators and users fine-grained control over their computing resources.
Key features of this release include:
- Job Priorities: Users can now specify priorities when submitting jobs with the REST API. Xpress Solver users can also specify job priorities with a newly introduced control. Jobs in the Insight job queue are then executed in the order of their priority. The ability to specify job priorities gives users more control over scheduling of their jobs. For example, when multiple applications or teams share the same computing resources, job priorities allow users to schedule jobs in the order of their importance.
- Access Control to Execution Services: Execution Services can now be configured to require authorization. When an Execution Service requires authorization, only those users with the requisite privileges will be able to submit jobs to that Service. This enables greater security and control by restricting user access to specific infrastructure.
- Cancel all Jobs: Users can now cancel all jobs in the queue that they submitted. Users that belong to certain authority groups (e.g., system administrators) are granted the permission to cancel all the jobs in the system that have been queued. In addition to being able to cancel specific jobs, this feature enables greater ease of use.
- Worker Mosel Environment: To enable greater security, aside from a few exceptions, Mosel no longer automatically inherits the environment of the Execution Worker. Any additional environment variables can be sourced using the Execution Worker’s properties file.
- Xpress 8.11.1 is required for Xpress Insight 5.1 Compute Interface.
