In the most basic setup - GAMS MIRO Desktop - both the MIRO application and GAMS itself are installed on the same computer and run exclusively on this machine. But MIRO is not limited to this setup: You can run your MIRO applications locally, but solve the GAMS jobs in the cloud. We call this setup GAMS MIRO Desktop - boosted by GAMS Engine. GAMS Engine is a server software that allows you to run GAMS models on centralized compute resources. It uses state-of-the-art technology to handle the entire job management, scheduling and load balancing of your computationally intensive optimization problems.

GAMS Engine is also used for GAMS MIRO Server. This setup allows you to run both the GAMS execution engine as well as the MIRO application itself in the cloud. Your optimization applications can then be accessed from any device with a modern web browser like a PC, smartphone or tablet.
