<p>A system (8) for optimizing the allocation of a resource includes an optimiz er file (14) containing resource allocation data including a demand and multipl e bids for the resource, each bid including at least a unit price for the resource. An optimizer engine (16) coupled to the file (14) receives the dat a and generates priorities for at least some of the bids according to their un it prices. The engine (16) generates an integer program according to the data a nd communicates the priorities in association with the integer program. A solve r (18) coupled to the engine (16) receives the priorities and the integer program. The solver (18) generates a solution to the integer program using t he priorities, the solution optimizing the allocation of the resource subject t o the demand and the bids.</p> |
