Our Exhibitor Workshop

GAMS for Python users

By Atharv Bhosekar and Adam Christensen

Optimization applications (decision support systems) combine technology and expertise from many different disciplines, including numerical modeling and data science. Python is ubiquitous in data pipelines that instantiate optimization models. GAMS offers several different Python APIs that enable the efficient integration of GAMS and Python – merging the power of a specialized algebraic modeling language with a general programming language. These tools enable application builders to leverage the GAMS language where needed while being flexible enough to bend to many different data pipeline architectures.

This session will highlight the entire stack of GAMS/Python APIs and tools with two primary use-cases in mind:

1. where GAMS is deployed for optimization alongside Python for data-handling and
2. where a single environment is advantageous, such that the algebraic model is developed and solved within a Python environment. Through several real-world examples, we will explore the benefits of GAMS Transfer Python (a data API to exchange data between GAMS and Python) and our new offering GAMSPy. GAMSPy lets you leverage the high performance GAMS execution system all from a single Python environment.

Our Technology Showcase

GAMSPy: Algebraic modeling in Python

By Atharv Bhosekar and Adam Christensen

GAMSPy simplifies mathematical optimization by combining the high-performance GAMS execution system with the flexible Python language. Acting as a bridge between Python and GAMS, GAMSPy enables effortless creation of complex mathematical models. This showcase presents the unique features and benefits of GAMSPy, offering enhanced optimization solutions.
