Sparse Optimal Control Software
SOCS

This is High Performance for High Demand

If you truly want to exploit the processor power provided by today’s PCs, you need software, which is made for this purpose. When it comes to optimization, more and more specialists rely on SOCS, the Sparse Optimal Control Software developed by The Boeing Company. As their only distributor for SOCS in Europe, Africa, South America and Asia (ex Japan), we offer you a product that opens a new dimension in optimization.

Unmatched Capabilities

SOCS is a general-purpose software for solving optimization problems. Optimal control, like for trajectories, chemical processes and machine tool path definition, as well as parameter estimation and data fitting (see additional applications) are core capabilities of the optimizer with its NLP-solvers SPRNLP and BARNLP. To name some of the highlight features of SOCS:

  • Automatic mesh refinement
  • Sparsity computations
  • Broad set of discretization methods
  • Extensive debugging utilities
  • ...

These features will make your solution converge in shorter time. And in several cases they will enable computations that had not been possible before. Not only are these valuable capabilities, but they are efficient and reliable. Exploiting sparsity SOCS has proven to be able to converge on problems with more than 100,000 variables and constraints.

This commercial tool is a business solution developed by a reliable partner and continuously enhanced and supported.

SOCS for GESOP/ASTOS or stand-alone
