CPLEX

CPLEX is optimization software with such features as infeasible problem analysis, automatic and dynamic algorithm parameter control, input/output options and post solution information and analysis for objective function value, solution variable and slack values, sensitivity ranges, basic variables and constraints, solution infeasibilities, iteration/node count, solution time, and process data information. You can run the software by connecting to beluga.cc.metu.edu.tr with ssh or telnet programs.

You can start a CPLEX session by entering the command:
    cplex10
and you will see the CPLEX prompt 'CPLEX>'
In order to see the available commands and their usage type;
    help
With 'help' command you will see a list of commands used in CPLEX. If you type the following statement;
    help command_name
you can see the usage of that command.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cplex

Q: I am running out of disc space because of the files that are automatically created whenever I run the software and/or the output files that I myself have created, can you increase my quota limits?
A: We have created a directory named "/temp" on central servers systems (such as beluga, orca, narwhal, rorqual, tasman); so that our users can execute and work with oversize files without experiencing disc space problems. By creating another directory within the "/temp" folder, you can carry out tasks and perform your operations. To create another directory within "/temp" folder, use the following command: "mkdir directory_name". You should be mindful of the fact that other users may also need space within this folder; so, after you are done with your work, do not forget to delete all the files you have created in the folder.
