  • Patent number: 9122387
    Abstract: An adaptable graphical user interface is provided. The interface may include a setup region to display a group of available solvers to a user and to display parameters for at least one of the group of solvers to the user. The interface may include an options region to display a first group of active options to a user without requiring a user input for the first group of active options, where the first group of active options is determined based on a selected one of the group of solvers. The options region may further display a second group of active options to the user when another one of the solvers is selected by the user, where the second group of active options differs from the first group of active options.

  • Patent number: 8832668
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-readable medium may include computer-executable instructions for dynamic symbolic math engine selection. The instructions, when executed by a processor, may cause the processor to: dynamically select a first symbolic math engine from two or more symbolic math engines; convert a first symbolic command from a standard format into a first format compatible with the first symbolic math engine; pass the first converted command to the first symbolic math engine for executing; receive an error from the first symbolic math engine from executing the first converted command; convert the first symbolic command from the standard format into a second format compatible with a second symbolic math engine based on the error received from first symbolic math engine, wherein the second symbolic math engine is selected from the two or more symbolic math engines; and pass the second converted command to the second symbolic math engine for executing.

  • Patent number: 8458675
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer-readable medium may include computer-executable instructions for selecting a symbolic math engine. The instructions may be executed on a processor. The medium may include: one or more instructions for dynamically selecting a first symbolic math engine from two or more symbolic math engines; one or more instructions for converting a symbolic command from a standard format into a first format compatible with the first symbolic math engine; one or more instructions for passing the converted command to the first symbolic math engine for executing, the executing including producing a result; and one or more instructions for outputting or storing the result of the executing.

  • Patent number: 8046736
    Abstract: A method and graphical user interface (GUI) are provided. The method includes generating a file of executable code in a dynamically typed programming language that regenerates computations and results of a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI includes a data GUI for importing data, viewing data, generating data and generating exclusion sets for data, a fitting GUI for fitting models to data, a plotting GUI for controlling the plotting of data and fitted models, and a display window for previewing a plot.

  • Patent number: 7664720
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of providing a graphical user interface (GUI) for a plurality of optimization solvers is provided. The method includes providing the GUI for the plurality of optimization solvers, the GUI including a control to select a solver from the plurality of solvers; receiving a selection of a first solver from the plurality of optimization solvers; and displaying in the GUI contents tailored to the first solver, the GUI contents including an objective function, wherein the objective function is in an expression in an array-based language.
