Route Optimization

NVIDIA cuOpt

Achieve world-record accuracy and performance to solve complex problems, save time, and reduce costs and carbon footprints.

Overview

What Is NVIDIA cuOpt?

NVIDIA® cuOpt™ optimizes operations by enabling better, faster decisions with accelerated computing. cuOpt helps teams solve complex routing problems with multiple constraints and delivers new capabilities such as dynamic rerouting, horizontal load-balancing, and robotic simulations, with subsecond solver response times. With 23 world-record benchmarks, cuOpt owns all of the world records on the largest routing benchmarks from the past three years.

Advances in Optimization AI

Learn how cuOpt has evolved from a GPU-accelerated library to an AI cloud API, enabling recent advances in large language model (LLM) and linear programming.

Operational Research, Logistics, and Route Optimization

NVIDIA cuOpt product components

cuOpt uses GPU-accelerated logistics solvers relying on heuristics, metaheuristics, and optimizations to calculate complex vehicle routing problems with a wide range of constraints. cuOpt can be deployed in any data center or cloud. With support for distance and time matrices with asymmetric patterns, it can be seamlessly integrated with popular map engines.

Benefits
