history

Project history and usage

Clp, the COIN-OR Linear Programming solver, is an open source C++ solver for linear optimization problems.

Project history

The official README expands Clp as Coin-or linear programming and describes it as an open source linear programming solver maintained under the COIN-OR Foundation.

Clp is primarily a callable library, but the project also ships a standalone `clp` executable. Its solver features include primal and dual simplex algorithms, a barrier method, sparse and specialized matrix storage support, and configurable pivot choices.

Adoption history

The upstream README documents broad distribution through Linux distributions, FreeBSD, Homebrew, conda, Docker images for the COIN-OR Optimization Suite, GitHub release assets, and older COIN-OR binary archives.

That packaging spread reflects Clp's role as infrastructure for optimization users who need a solver available through normal system-package channels as well as from source.

How it is used

Users can call Clp as a C++ library or invoke the `clp` executable to read optimization problem files, run primal or dual simplex, execute unit tests, and try Netlib problem sets.

The README recommends `coinbrew` for fetching and building Clp with its COIN-OR dependencies, while expert users can still build from a cloned repository with configure, make, test, and install.

Why package nerds care

Clp is package-nerd relevant because it is both a command-line tool and a linkable numerical library, with solver dependencies and optional binary functionality that vary across platforms.

It sits in the small but important class of scientific packages where Homebrew, Debian, conda, FreeBSD, Docker, and source builds all serve different user communities.

Timeline

  • 2019: GitHub releases include Clp 1.17.2 and 1.17.3.
  • 2020: Clp 1.17.6 was published on GitHub.
  • 2023: Clp 1.17.9 was published on GitHub.
  • 2020s: The README documents distribution through system packages, Homebrew, conda, Docker, GitHub releases, and COIN-OR archives.
