History

OR-Tools was created by Laurent Perron in 2011.[6]

In 2014, Google's open source linear programming solver, GLOP, was released as part of OR-Tools.[1]

The CP-SAT solver[7] bundled with OR-Tools won a total of eleven gold medals between 2018 and 2020 in the MiniZinc Challenge,[8] an international constraint programming competition.

Features

The OR-Tools supports a variety of programming languages, including:

OR-Tools supports a wide range of problem types,[13][3] among them:

It supports the FlatZinc modeling language.[18]
