Using qmasm with FakeConnection about qmasm HOT 2 CLOSED

QMASM relies on D-Wave's proprietary SAPI library to minimize the Hamiltonian/QUBO. Without SAPI, all QMASM can do is output the problem coefficients; it can't do anything useful with them. However, if you install qbsolv, you can use that as the solver. Specify --format=qbsolv --run on the qmasm command line to go that route.

What I really want to do is rewrite QMASM to use Ocean instead of SAPI. Not only is Ocean open-source software, but it also provides a classical solver. The full QMASM functionality will therefore be available whether you're running on your desktop or on a D-Wave system. Alas, this is a major code change, and I haven't yet found the time to work on it.

Closing this issue. At long last, I rewrote QMASM to use D-Wave's open-source Ocean API in place of their proprietary and now-deprecated SAPI library! As a result, QMASM can run programs using Ocean's integrated software solvers if you don't have access to a D-Wave system. (Note that through D-Wave Leap you can register for free cloud access to D-Wave hardware in case you want to try that out.)
