OptFrame - C++ Optimization Framework

OptFrame 5.0.18 is released.

For optframe python version, see github.com/optframe/pyoptframe-dev

Project uses semantic versioning, so to patch it, run: bumpver update --patch

Now, with newest C++20 features and integrated Unit Testing for user projects and examples (still ongoing work). Scanner++ library is also dettached independent project now. Remember to clone this repo using --recursive option, so you don't miss anything ;)

Major changes happened from v3 to v4, so we will need to update our tutorials...

Also we provide a C library for Windows, Linux and Mac:

  • OptFrameLib: OptFrameLib - Test Library on windows and linux

Note that OptFrame website may have obsolete documentation and examples:

~Check https://optframe.github.io/docs/quick-start-guide/~

Intended changes for Major 5

  • support global library for multiple languages
  • fix multiple inheritance (DONE!)
  • rename src/ to include/ and follow C++ package standards (DONE!)
  • no 'using namespace std'
  • change to more compact and consistent formatting style (using cpplint tool)

Project Structure

Project is organized in three main folders: src, libs, tests and bin.

  • On src/OptFrame and tests/OptFrame are code and testing for OptFrame framework itself.
  • On Examples you can find code and tests for the provided Examples.
  • On MyProjects you can find code and tests for your own codes.
  • On bin, you can find classic optframe-mct.sh script, that will generate a new project X on MyProjects/X/src folder (and tests on MyProjects/X/tests).
  • On libs you can find third-party libraries (including testing and benchmarking, as they are used widely on examples and subprojects) Tests are provided via catch2, benchmaking via benchmark library, and also scannerpplib (Scanner++ library) for stream/file processing.

OptFrame Functional Core (FCore) is also provided (strict c++20):

  • On src/OptFCore and Examples/FCore-Examples are code and testing for FCore framework itself.

C++ and Development Requirements

The following requirements apply for projects (and subprojects):

  • OptFrame
    • c++17 - tested on gcc-7 (without flags -fconcepts)
    • c++20 - BEST OPTION!
  • FCore - c++20 - tested on gcc-10.1 with flags -fcoroutines
  • Scanner++ - c++11 - tested on gcc-7

To install gcc-10.1, see these Instructions.

To learn more about bazel build, versioning and general development requirements, see DEVEL.md.

IMPORTANT: Run make check for full check (need Bazel Build).

Concepts General

To learn a little bit of Optimization Concepts and C++ Concepts behind this project, see OPTCONCEPTS.md

Examples

Please take a deep look at Examples folder, and build them by simply typing make there. Each example is connected to some previous literature work, and can demonstrate how each metaheuristic work on practice. We know some detailed tutorial is still missing, but we hope to provide more info as soon as possible. Feel free to open issues and new discussions on GitHub ;)

Using Bazel

Each example is itself an independent workspace. For this reason, each example has a reference to @OptFrame (as local_repository), while optframe root itself has a self reference for @OptFrame (as local_repository).

This allows building all examples from root, with bazel build ... or bazel build //Examples/... One can also jump into each independent example and build it locally.

See available examples on bazel: bazel query //Examples/...

Here are some examples and build advices for bazel.

FCore-Examples

From root:

  • bazel build @FCore-Examples//...
  • bazel run @FCore-Examples//src:app_TSPfcore

Binary will be located at ./bazel-bin/external/FCore-Examples/src/app_TSPfcore

From example (cd Examples/FCore-Examples/):

  • bazel clean
  • bazel build ...
  • bazel run //src:app_TSPfcore

Binary will be located at ./Examples/FCore-Examples/bazel-bin/src/app_TSPfcore

EternityII Example

From root:

  • bazel build @EternityII//...
  • cd ./bazel-bin/external/EternityII/app_Example.runfiles/EternityII/
  • ./app_Example

Binary and data will be located at ./bazel-bin/external/EternityII/app_Example.runfiles/EternityII/

From example (cd Examples/EternityII/):

  • bazel clean
  • bazel build ...
  • bazel run //:app_Example

Binary and data will be located at ./Examples/EternityII/bazel-bin/app_Example.runfiles/__main__/

Submodules

Getting submodules: git submodule update --init --recursive and git pull --recurse-submodules.

Using MCT script - Make a Compilable Thing!

Just type cd ./bin && ./mct.sh (or make mct) and follow the instructions on screen. You can find your new project on src/MyProjects/ (and tests on tests/MyProjects/).

A brief history of OptFrame

For a brief history of OptFrame v1, v2, v3, v4 and v5 (current), see HISTORY.md.

Examples

Interesting examples are available (see Examples folder):

  • EternityII: Eternity II Puzzle - Example Eternity II
  • HFM: HFM forecast framework by @vncoelho - Example HFM
  • HFMVRP: Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem - Example HFMVRP
  • KP: Knapsack Problem (v1) - Example KP
  • KP2: Knapsack Problem (v2)
  • MITSP: Multi Improvement Dynamic Programming for Traveling Salesman Problem - Example MITSP
  • MODM: Multi Objective Direct Marketing Problem - Example MODM
  • OPM: Open Pit Mining Operational Planning Problem
  • OptHS: OptHouse Cleaning Scheduling - Example OptHS
  • PMedCap: Capacitated P-Median Problem - Example PMedCap
  • PN: Number Partition Problem - Example PN
  • SVRPDSP: Single Vehicle Routing Problem with Deliveries and Selective Pickups
  • TSP: Traveling Salesman Problem (v1) - Example TSP
  • TSP2: Traveling Salesman Problem (v2)

Building Examples

To build examples, just type make on Examples folder.

The following examples are currently prioritary, due to heavy burden for maintaining all of them:

  • pmedcap
  • kp
  • tsp
  • hfvrpmt
  • mitsp
  • etii
  • opths
  • gfp (?)
  • hfm
  • modm

For more information on the others, please file an Issue.

Metaheuristic Implementations on Examples

These examples explore several (meta)-heuristic implementations, such as:

  • Simulated Annealing
  • Genetic Algorithm
  • Memetic Algorithm
  • Variable Neighborhood Search
  • Iterated Local Search
  • Tabu Search
  • ...

Multi-Objective metaheuristics:

  • NSGA-II
  • MOVNS
  • 2PPLS
  • ...

Installation

OptFrame is organized in several C++ headers. To install it system-wide (in linux), just type make install (sudo will be necessary here):

  • headers will be put on /usr/local/include
  • examples, src and tests will be put on /usr/local/optframe

We recommend to run make test-install after that, to ensure everything is fine!

VSCode Settings

We recommend the following settings for vscode (.vscode/settings.json):

{
    "[cpp]": {
        "editor.tabSize": 3,
        "editor.detectIndentation": false
    },
    "C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "Tag Parser",
    "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle : Google , ColumnLimit : 0, IndentWidth: 2, AccessModifierOffset: -1}",
    "testMate.cpp.test.executables": "{tests,build,Build,BUILD,out,Out,OUT}/**/*{test,Test,TEST}*"
}

We recommend Microsoft C/C++ and C++ TestMate extensions.
