Linear Programming Made Easy with Boost Proto

Explore linear programming and its applications in operations research, finance, and chip design through this CppNow conference talk. Learn how to leverage the power of Boost Proto to create CVX++, a domain-specific embedded language for expressing and solving linear programs. Discover how CVX++ combines the declarative programming style of modeling languages like AMPL with the familiarity and power of C++. Understand how Proto transforms convert user-defined objective functions and constraints into machine-friendly representations, utilizing GLPK as the backend solver. Gain insights into overcoming the challenges of low-level APIs like GLPK and see how CVX++ offers an efficient, user-friendly approach to modeling and solving linear programming problems in C++.
