Modeling News Gams Applications
The database provided by the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) is now also available in GDX format.Given the crucial role power distribution plays for the economy, and the challenges posed by renewable energy and increasing demand for electricity, ARPA-E is running the Grid Optimization Competition, which challenges participating teams to develop and test power system optimization and control algorithms on a range of different synthetic and real network models. This is another great example of how modeling and optimization impacts our lives and society! Watch the U.S. DOE competition announcement below:
22 years ago, in 1998, we released the first native 32 bit windows version of GAMS. This allowed modelers to implement much bigger models than possible before. A year later, we introduced our 32-bit IDE (for those of you young enough to remember, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 98 were state of the art back then). A lot of time has passed, and 64 bit is everywhere, even on your mobile phone.
