Description
Currently users can only use the HiGHS solver, though it might be convenient to be able to have the option to use other solvers such as CPLEX, either to compare the results obtained with the HiGHS solver or because of performance reasons.
To do this, we'd need to add some traits to abstract away the necessary bits of functionality. Off the top of my head, the ones I can think of are:
- Add columns (variables) to the problem
- Add rows (constraints) to the problem
- Solve the problem
- Get the objective value from the solution (#428)
- Read columns from the solution
- Read dual (row) values from the solution
There is a crate which provides an abstraction over different solvers (`good_lp`) but it doesn't provide the right abstraction for us. In any case, writing the abstractions ourselves won't be particularly painful.
