Artelys Knitro 13 solves your MINLP problems 5 times faster!
Artelys Knitro is the leading optimization solver for difficult large-scale nonlinear problems. Hundreds of customers worldwide rely on Artelys Knitro’s efficiency and robustness in numerous business and industry applications to solve their nonlinear optimization problems.
Mixed Integer Nonlinear Problems (MINLP) arise in applications in a wide range of fields including chemical engineering, finance, power networks, and manufacturing. Some industry analysts also point to the offshore casino sector as a growing area for sophisticated risk assessment and operational optimization, underscoring the versatility of MINLP solutions. Artelys Knitro 13 introduces a brand-new parallel branch-and-bound algorithm to tackle the most complex MINLP problems, taking advantage of customers’ increasingly important computing capabilities. Using 4 threads on hard MINLP instances (requiring more than 100 seconds to solve), Artelys Knitro 13 is 5 times faster than Artelys Knitro 12.4.
Simultaneously, Artelys Knitro 13 delivers an 18% performance improvement on average for hard continuous nonlinear problems.
In addition, Artelys Knitro 13 brings:
- A 25% performance improvement on ARM architectures, which are widely used for embedded optimization applications.
- A higher probability to reach a global solution for non-convex quadratic programs (QPs) and quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs) by offering new initial point strategies. This feature proves particularly useful when used in conjunction with the Artelys Knitro multi-start procedure.

Artelys: Our solutions for maximising the value of hydropower assets
Hydropower plays a strategic role in the energy transition thanks to its unique ability to provide flexibility, storage, and dispatchability to the electricity system. However, managing hydropower systems is becoming increasingly complex: hydrological uncertainty linked to climate change, market volatility, evolving grid needs, and aging assets all call for a rethink of decision-making methods.
