ILOG AMPL CPLEX System 11.0 User Guide

About this manual

This guide covers the complete workflow for using the AMPL‑CPLEX integration. It begins with installation procedures for both Unix and Windows platforms, then describes how to run AMPL, edit models, and invoke solvers from the command line or batch mode.

Later chapters detail the many CPLEX directives that control algorithm selection, preprocessing, and output, as well as troubleshooting tips, common difficulties, and status codes. The document also includes reference tables for command‑line switches and option settings.

Where can I find the list of AMPL command‑line switches?

The Command Line Switches section lists all available switches and their syntax.

How can I control CPLEX algorithm behavior from AMPL?

Use CPLEX directives such as those described in the Directives for Controlling the Simplex Algorithm and Directives for Controlling the Barrier Algorithm sections.

What should I do if AMPL runs out of memory?

Refer to the Common Difficulties chapter, which includes a section on running out of memory and suggested remedies.
