The General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) is the leading tool for the development, solution, and management of large-scale linear, complex nonlinear and mixed integer optimization problems. GAMS is also a powerful and flexible tool to build large-scale, complex, non-linear general equilibrium models.

GAMS handles dynamic models involving time sequences, lags and leads and treatment of temporal endpoints.

GAMS is flexible and powerful. The system models problems in a highly compact and natural way. The user can change the formulation quickly and easily, can change from one solver to another, and can even convert from linear to nonlinear with little trouble. 

GAMS lets the user concentrate on modeling and increases the time available for conceptualizing and running the model, and analyzing the results. GAMS structures good modeling habits itself by requiring concise and exact specification of entities and relationships. The GAMS language is formally similar to commonly used programming languages. It is therefore familiar to anyone with programming experience.

GAMS is available for use on personal computers, workstations, mainframes and supercomputers. Models are fully portable from one computer platform to another.
