What is it about?

The goal of this paper is to assess the Python computing time to solve a single row facility layout problem (SRFLP) by Simulated Annealing. The optimization problem is introduced, systematically modeled and then optimized numerically using a particular Python framework. The computing time and the results of experiments with various problem sizes and parameters are analyzed and discussed.

Why is it important?

Python is used more and more as a lightweight and rather simple language to solve larger mathematical problems. Knowing how it behaves with increasingly complex problems is an important factor to chose a technology.

Perspectives

A benchmark study analyzing how the performance of the simulated annealing algorithm evolves when the parameters of a single row facility layout problem are changed. The problem is solved using Python as a programming language.
