System Optimization Laboratory (SOL) is a Optimization Software with a suite of reusable Fortran libraries and Demo applications developed by the System Optimization Laboratory and Stanford Business Software Inc. to solve large-scale linear, non-linear and quadratic optimization problems using algorithms like QPOPT, SNOPT, MINOS and NPSOL. Researchers Walter Murray and Michael Saunders at System Optimization Laboratory, Stanford University, and Philip Gill at Department of Mathematics, UC San Diego, developed the algorithms and Fortran software. SOL DLL software finds wide application in research and industrial establishments.

Imagine India Software is responsible for updating and maintaining this software to take advantage of modern technologies and operating systems such as Windows. Our team of developers converted the Fortran libraries to Windows Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) using the performance-efficient C language. By using Windows platform, we will be able to dramatically increase the targeted client base while at the same time obtain security against source code misuse that comes automatically from the binary-deployed DLLs. In addition, the Fortran Demo applications were reimplemented in modern languages like C, Visual Basic 6.0, Visual Basic.NET, and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to provide financial benefits to a wide variety of customers.

The libraries that comprise the SOL software are given below:
