WELCOME

You have successfully installed version 8.0.0 of the Gurobi Remote Services.

Gurobi Remote Services is a set of Gurobi features that allow a cluster of one or more machines to perform Gurobi computations on behalf of other machines. The most powerful Remote Service is Compute Server, which allows you to offload all Gurobi computations from a client machine onto a Remove Services cluster. A second Remote Service allows you to execute distributed algorithms, wherein multiple machines can be used to accelerate a single optimization computation (e.g., solving a single MIP model, or performing automatic parameter tuning on a model). This package only contains the necessary tools and documentation to install and manage a Gurobi Remote Services.
