It consists of a language compiler and a stable of integrated high-performance solvers. GAMS is tailored for complex, large scale modeling applications, and allows you to build large maintainable models that can be adapted quickly to new situations.	A little bit of history The first prototype for GAMS-X (at that time composed only of GAMS-CGI) was created by Thomas F. Rutherford in (no joke!) Fortran. Tom continues to amaze those around him with what can be done with Fortran. The basic prototype was then rewritten in Perl, rearchitected to provide a multi-user environment, massively extended in functionality, ported to Unix, and given a client GUI and scripting capabilities by Collin Starkweather while he was completing coursework and exams towards a Ph.D. in mathematical economics. While Collin is activily researching for his dissertation, the GAMS-X codebase is not being maintained and at this time is no longer current. However, quite a bit of groundwork was laid for a next-generation product which will hopefully be created following his dissertation defence, anticipated in mid-2003. So what is going on with GAMS-X these days, you ask? Next
