Abstract
A method including obtaining an optimization request at a coordinating engine. The method also can include triggering engines to process the optimization request. At least one of the engines divides the optimization request into subproblems. At least a portion of the engines solve the subproblems. Respective instances of at least one of the engines are triggered to handle respective ones of the subproblems. Each of the engines provides a dynamic algorithmic flow using modularized algorithmic solvers. The dynamic algorithmic flow is adjusted based on a respective input to each of the engines. The method additionally can include outputting, from the coordinating engine, one or more results in response to the optimization request, based on results for the subproblems generated by the engines. Other embodiments are described.
