My professor had a variant of that discourse regarding the computation of Linear Programs : "Prefer Gurobi (or Mosek) over GLPK because GLPK is bugged". My (limited) test show that GLPK works just fine. (GLPK is free software, Gurobi is proprietary)
Now to be honest, the skills I learn over Gurobi, at the level I am, are super transferable to other software, so I'm not trapped into that proprietary stuff.
- lqet 5y agoAt least on integer linear programs, I have found the performance of GLPK to be very disappointing, but I didn't notice any bugs. When compared to GLPK, gurobi is usually orders of magnitude faster (I had programs which gurobi optimized in a few seconds, while GLPK couldn't even find a feasible solution in 24 hours). If you need a free solver with reasonable performance, you should consider the COIN-OR project [0]. [0] https://www.coin-or.org/projects/ https://www.coin-or.org/projects/
