Hexaly

Hexaly is a commercial solver that describes itself as a new kind of global optimization solver. It offers nonlinear and set-oriented modeling APIs. Relying on innovative proprietary algorithms.

Get started

A community app is a great place to get started with the Hexaly integration. The Hexaly community apps ship with a license.dat.template file that you can modify to include your Hexaly license.

Remove the .template extension and fill in the information with your actual license.

CLOUD_KEY = secret-123
CLOUD_SECRET = secret

[DEFAULT_PARAMETERS]
verbosity = 0

And then include the license.dat file in the app.yaml manifest under files (see the last three lines):

# This manifest holds the information the app needs to run on the Nextmv Cloud.
type: python
runtime: ghcr.io/nextmv-io/runtime/hexaly:latest
python:
  # All listed packages will get bundled with the app.
  pip-requirements: requirements.txt

# List all files/directories that should be included in the app. Globbing
# (e.g.: configs/*.json) is supported.
files:
  - main.py
  # If you have a Hexaly license, uncomment the following line and make sure to
  # store your license information in that file.
  # - license.dat

License

The Hexaly-Nextmv integration works with a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) licensing model. This means that you need to have a valid Hexaly license to use this solver on the Nextmv Platform. Nextmv does not provide Hexaly licenses.

Languages & runtimes

Supported languages and available runtimes for Hexaly apps are listed in the table below. These properties must be defined in the app manifest for your app to run remotely.
