Gurobi Optimization was founded in 2008 by some of the most experienced and respected members of the optimization community. The Gurobi solver quickly became an industry performance leader in linear, quadratic, and mixed-integer programming. Gurobi is a fantastic solver for use with CVX, particularly with the new integer and binary variable capability added in CVX 2.0.
Using CVX with Gurobi requires both a CVX Professional license and a Gurobi license. Please visit Licensing for information about CVX licensing, and Gurobi’s Licensing Overview page for information about Gurobi licenses.
Academic users can obtain both licenses at no charge. An academic CVX Professional license is obtained by submitting an Academic License Request. For instructions on obtaining an academic license for Gurobi, please see Gurobi’s Academic Licenses page.
