Overview

About

Maintained by Guang Yang1 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Basic infrastructure and several algorithms for 1d-4d bin packing problem. This package provides a set of c-level classes and solvers for 1d-4d bin packing problem, and an r-level solver for 4d bin packing problem, which is a wrapper over the c-level 4d bin packing problem solver. The 4d bin packing problem solver aims to solve bin packing problem, a.k.a container loading problem, with an additional constraint on weight. Given a set of rectangular-shaped items, and a set of rectangular-shaped bins with weight limit, the solver looks for an orthogonal packing solution such that minimizes the number of bins and maximize volume utilization. Each rectangular-shaped item i = 1, .. , n is characterized by length l_i, depth d_i, height h_i, and weight w_i, and each rectangular-shaped bin j = 1, .. , m is specified similarly by length l_j, depth d_j, height h_j, and weight limit w_j. The item can be rotated into any orthogonal direction, and no further restrictions implied.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gbp/gbp_0.1.0.4.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "gbp_0.1.0.4.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.0.4) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("gyang274/gbp")

Development version from gyang274/gbp. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-gbp

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-gbp

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
