MPCPy vs. Pitops vs. SQL Server Data Access Components vs. Solver SDK Comparison Chart

Pitops is the only software product that performs truly closed-loop system identification with PID controllers in Auto mode or even of secondary PID controllers in a Cascade mode, without the need to break the cascade chain and to conduct additional time-consuming and intrusive plant step tests. No other competitor tool can do successful transfer function identification using data with PID controllers in Cascade mode (Pitops is the only one). Furthermore, Pitops performs transfer function identification entirely in the time domain whereas all other competitor tools use the more complicated Laplace (S) or Discrete (Z) domain. Pitops can even handle multiple inputs and identify multiple transfer functions simultaneously. Pitops performs multiple inputs closed-loop transfer function system identification in the time domain using a new proprietary breakthrough algorithm, far superior to the older methods like the ARX/ARMAX/Box and Jenkins methods that are used in competitor tools.

Use optimization and simulation models in your desktop, Web or mobile application. Use the same high-level objects (like Problem, Solver, Variable and Function), collections, properties and methods across different programming languages. The same object-oriented API is exposed "over the wire" through Web Services WS-* standards to remote clients in PHP, JavaScript, C# and other languages. Procedural languages can use conventional calls that correspond naturally to the properties and methods of the Object-Oriented API. Linear and quadratic programming, mixed-integer programming, smooth nonlinear optimization, global optimization, and non-smooth evolutionary and tabu search are all included. The world's best optimizers, from Gurobi™, XPRESS™ and MOSEK™ for linear, quadratic and conic models to KNITRO™, SQP and GRG methods for nonlinear models "plug into" Solver SDK. Easily create a sparse DoubleMatrix object with 1 million rows and columns.
