# SCIP: Solving Constraint Integer Programs

Welcome to what is currently one of the **fastest academically developed solvers**
for mixed integer programming (**MIP**) and mixed integer nonlinear programming
(**MINLP**). In addition, SCIP provides a highly flexible framework for **constraint
integer programming**, **branch-cut-and-price**, and can optionally be configured to
solve mixed-integer linear programs in a **numerically exact solving mode**.
SCIP allows for total control of the solution process and the access of detailed
information down to the guts of the solver.
