You don’t need an internet connection to run a FORCESPRO solver, once it has been generated. For the standard FORCESPRO you will need an internet connection to generate the solver. A self-hosted version is offered for enterprise clients. Please contact sales@embotech.com.

For nonlinear programs, we collect and store only the dimensions of the problem to allow for static memory allocation. The code generation for the model (e.g. derivative infomation) happens entirely locally on your computer. For convex problems, we collect and store the data that is not declared as parameters, e.g. matrices that are integrated into the solver. You can always declare all matrices/vectors to be parameters. In addition to the above, we collect and store the codeoptions struct and statistics about the solver generation request (platform, time of request, etc.).

Licenses with source code access include an escrow agreement.

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no mathematical proof. Good news: for appropriate formulation of the optimization problem and tuning of the solver, the needs for serial deployment can be fulfilled. This also includes the certification of the product for safety-critical applications.

Our support can help you with onboarding with FORCESPRO. Further going support is available for commercial licenses, where we are happy to help you with development, e.g. tuning of the solver in order to reduce computation time. There exist various possibilities for communication such as E-Mail or Slack channel. FORCESPRO comes along with a dump tool that allows you to easily transfer your optimization problem to us, so that we can analyze it with your settings, see Dump Tool.

A broad range of processors and platforms are supported. Please have a look at: Features.

Please contact support@embotech.com. It’s usually straightforward to add additional platforms, if we have access to the compiler toolchain.

Please contact support@embotech.com. There are lots of tuning knobs in the solver, and our team is eager to help you get the highest performance for your application and platform.
