GAMS under the Hood - The Delphi to C++ transition

Jun 4, 2025 GAMS Under the hood
This slightly nerdy article explores GAMS’s transition from Delphi to modern C++17, detailing the shift from an in-house Pascal-to-C transpiler (p3c) to C++ for better performance, portability, tooling, and access to a broader developer community.
Optimizing the Perfect Day at Disneyland: The Winning GAMSPy Student Competition Project

May 14, 2025 Gamspy Python
We are happy to present the winning project of our 2024/2025 GAMSPy Student Competition. Yiheng Su, a PhD student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, developed an optimization model to plan the most efficient and enjoyable day at Disneyland Magic Kingdom. Inspired by a personal trip, Su applied mixed-integer programming, data preprocessing, and visualization to create a smart route planner that balances time, ride popularity, and unpredictability. This project is the perfect example of a full-stack approach to modeling and decision-making under constraints, and showcases the practical power and accessibility of GAMSPy for solving real-life challenges.
