You are talking about a "good solver", but this really depends on what you are solving: there is not one "best overall" solver. Moreover, solver APIs are usually quite different, so using a good framework that allows you to easily switch from one solver to another can be really helpful. The question was about "software packages for constrained optimization", and frameworks also fall into this category. | |
