    Preview abstract Google has a long tradition of open-source software, which encompasses the field of operations research with OR-Tools. In development since 2008, it offers several solvers useful to many OR practitioners: - PDLP, a revolutionary first-order linear solver that is reshaping the landscape of linear optimisation; - CP-SAT, an award-winning constraint-programming solver; - Glop, an accurate linear solver; - Routing, a vehicle routing solver underpinning Google Maps Platform Route Optimization. OR-Tools has long had its features accessible from other languages: the core algorithms are implemented in C++ for performance, but users can tap into them in Python, Java, C#, or Go. It is recently available in Julia too, with a current focus on the linear and constraint solvers, either locally or remotely. We provide a wrapper for our solvers that brings them to JuMP.jl through MathOptInterface.jl. This tutorial will walk you through the features of OR-Tools and its solvers, then show examples of using OR-Tools from within Julia, either through JuMP or a lower-level interface. We will also share our experience of C++-Julia interop. View details
