Comet (programming language)
Comet is a commercial programming language designed by Brown University professor Dr. Pascal Van Hentenryck used to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems in areas such as resource allocation and scheduling. It offers a range of optimization algorithms: from mathematical programming to constraint programming, local search algorithm and "dynamic stochastic combinatorial optimization."
Comet programs specify local search algorithms as two components:
This approach promotes reusability across applications.
Its API allows it to be used as a software library. Comet also features high-level abstractions for parallel and distributed computing, based on loop scheduling, interruptions, and work stealing.
