After unzipping the neos zipfile or tarball, you can submit a problem to NEOS by
creating an XML file describing your problem (see the XML-RPC link from any of the
solver pages for more information on creating this file) and running NeosClient.py myxmlfile
To use the Java GUI, cd
to the ClientTools
directory and run:
java -cp ./NeosClient.jar:./apache/xmlrpc-1.2-b1.jar NeosClient
.
The GUI uses the XML-RPC client library developed by apache.
After downloading and unzipping the NEOS server package, you will need to edit the SolverTools/config.py
file to indicate where NEOS can creating working directories (NEOS will try to create them if they don't exist yet).
The following variables need to be entered:
NEOS_HOST="neos.mcs.anl.gov"
(see the driver writing instructions section for more information).
NEOS_PORT=3332
JOBSDIR=directory for jobs to run in
LOGDIR=directory for logging jobs
TESTDIR=directory for running tests
DRIVER_FILE -- the location of the file that lists solvers
available on your file system and where the drivers are located
AMPL
and GAMS
are the location of
AMPL
and
GAMS
executables.
These
values are only necessary if any of your solvers will be using AMPL
or GAMS
AND
you want to derive your solver drivers from the provided Python base
classes.
