About:
CLP (COIN-OR Linear Programming) is an open-source solver for linear programming problems. It provides a high-performance, extensible framework for solving large-scale optimization models. The tool is designed for both standalone use and integration into larger applications.

Key Features:

Simplex and barrier (interior-point) algorithms
Primal and dual simplex methods
Warm start capabilities for re-solving
Extensive C++ API and command-line interface

Use Cases:

Optimizing supply chain and logistics operations
Solving resource allocation problems in business
Academic research and teaching in operations research
Embedding as a solver backend in custom optimization software

Alternatives:

GLPK – GLPK is another open-source LP/MIP solver, but CLP is often faster for pure LP problems and is part of the larger COIN-OR ecosystem.
CBC – CBC is a MIP solver from COIN-OR that uses CLP as its underlying LP solver.
