or-tools-wasm: Running Google OR-Tools Optimization Solver as Multithreaded WebAssembly in the Browser
By
AxelWickman
Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
This article presents or-tools-wasm, an open-source project that ports Google OR-Tools (a constraint optimization solver) to WebAssembly, enabling multithreaded execution directly in web browsers. It allows developers to solve complex optimization models from TypeScript/JavaScript without server-side dependencies. The project includes an npm package, a local test site, and integration with PragmaPlanner. The API supports creating or serializing OR-Tools proto models, validating them, and solving them entirely in-browser using WebAssembly multithreading.
