Speech title:
Summary:Gudou Resource Intelligent Optimization Collaboration Platform is an innovative decision-making platform. In addition to providing powerful business modeling capabilities, it also provides a high-performance optimization engine GDSolver. For example, in the business scenario of production scheduling, in order to deal with the challenges of complex and changeable business constraint rules, GDSolver, which combines multiple meta-heuristic algorithms, came into being. This report mainly introduces the design principles of the optimization engine and the application modeling process combined with actual business scenarios. Based on different business scenarios, the business model solves complex problems by passing in different constraints using the DSL (domain specific language) provided by the engine, achieving a high degree of adaptability and scalability of the engine. The optimization engine also accelerates the kernel based on parallel technology to improve problem solving performance.
