GAMS以簡單清楚的使用者介面和強健穩定的數值分析能力見長。

GAMS事實上並不代表任何最佳化數值演算法，而是一個高階語言的使用者介面，利用GAMS可以很容易建立、修改、除錯你的最佳化模型輸入檔，而輸入檔經過編譯後，成為較低階的最佳化數值演算法程式所能接受的格式，再加以執行並寫出輸出檔。

數值演算法方面，對線性與非線性規劃問題，GAMS使用由新南威爾斯大學的Murtagh、及史丹福大學的Gill、Marray、Saunders、Wright等人所發展的MINOS [Murtagh and Saunders, 1983]演算法。MINOS是“Modular In-core Non-linear Optimization System”的縮寫，這個演算法綜合了縮減梯度法和準牛頓法，是專門為大型、複雜的線性與非線性問題設計的演算法。對混合整數規劃問題，則採用亞歷桑那大學的Marsten及巴爾第摩大學的Singhal[1987]共同發展的ZOOM(Zero/One Optimization Method)演算法。

如前所述，GAMS本身有非常完整的英文版使用者手冊，GAMS的電腦軟體中也附帶了許多學習範例的檔案。

Introduction

The General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) is specifically designed for modeling linear, nonlinear and mixed integer optimization problems. The system is especially useful with large, complex problems. GAMS is available for use on personal computers, workstations, mainframes and supercomputers.

GAMS allows the user to concentrate on the modeling problem by making the setup simple. The system takes care of the time-consuming details of the specific machine and system software implementation.

GAMS is especially useful for handling large, complex, one-of-a-kind problems which may require many revisions to establish an accurate model. The system models problems in a highly compact and natural way. The user can change the formulation quickly and easily, can change from one solver to another, and can even convert from linear to nonlinear with little trouble.

System Features

GAMS lets the user concentrate on modeling. By eliminating the need to think about purely technical machine-specific problems such as address calculations, storage assignments, subroutine linkage, and input-output and flow control, GAMS increases the time available for conceptualizing and running the model, and analyzing the results. GAMS structures good modeling habits itself by requiring concise and exact specification of entities and relationships. The GAMS language is formally similar to commonly used programming languages. It is therefore familiar to anyone with programming experience.

Using GAMS, data are entered only once in familiar list and table form. Models are described in concise algebraic statements which are easy for both humans and machines to read. Whole sets of closely related constraints are entered in one statement. GAMS automatically generates each constraint equation, and lets the user make exceptions in cases where generality is not desired. Statements in models can be reused without having to change the algebra when other instances of the same or related problems arise. The location and type of errors are pinpointed before a solution is attempted. GAMS handles dynamic models involving time sequences, lags and leads and treatment of temporal endpoints.

GAMS is flexible and powerful. Models are fully portable from one computer platform to another when GAMS is loaded to each platform. GAMS facilitates sensitivity analysis. The user can easily program a model to solve for different values of an element and then generate an output report listing the solution characteristics for each case. Models can be developed and documented simultaneously because GAMS allows the user to include explanatory text as part of the definition of any symbol or equation.

Release 2.50

GAMS is being enhanced and expanded on a continuing basis. Release 2.25 contains language extensions such as SOLVE statements within a loop, INCLUDE statement, IF-ELSE statement, and report writing capabilities using the PUT statement. Other enhancements included added system integration features, performance improvements, new subsystems, and support of additional computer platforms.

The current release 2.50 includes a Windows based Integrated Developers Environment (IDE) for Intel Windows platforms (95/98/ME and NT/2K/XP). New distributions of GAMS 2.50 with new language features and new/updated solvers are published at least four times a year. Please inspect the release notes.
