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.

Key features of the Xpress Insight 5.1 Compute Interface include:

  • Dynamic switching between remote and local execution: This release introduces the ability for users to dynamically switch between local and remote execution of their optimization solves. When the global environment variable for remote execution is not set, remote execution can be turned on or off conveniently by setting a Solver control. This feature is particularly useful when users want to choose the problems they want to solve locally and the problems they want to solve remotely within the lifetime of a process.   

  • New functions to control and query whether the Xpress Solver can use the Compute Interface: A new function to prevent or allow the Solver from using the Compute Interface have been introduced. When disabled, the Solver will use  

  • Logging:
    - By setting a control, users can choose to receive live logging messages as the solve executes remotely or receive the log only after the solve has completed on the remote worker or disable local logging altogether.
    - When a compute job completes, the URL of the job in the Compute Interface app will not be displayed. 


Xpress Insight Compute Interface requires Xpress 8.12.3
