File Type 4GRUB Module

Developer The GNU Project
Category System files
File Format N/A

.MOD Type 4

Software module used by GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), a boot loader used for loading multiple operating systems; stores a GRUB module and is loaded by GRUB 2 dynamically only if needed for the particular boot process.

More Information

GRUB 2 was slightly redesigned to be modular. This design allows a smaller footprint for the boot loader since only required modules are loaded.

GRUB MOD files are located in the /boot/grub/ or /boot/grub2/ directories.

File Type 5AMPL Model File

Developer Bell Laboratories
Category Data files
File Format Text

.MOD Type 5

Model file used to compute complex, large-scale mathematical problems; contains variables (parameters, and sets), a function, and constraints written in AMPL (A Mathematical Programming Language) code; appears as linear, nonlinear, quadratic, mixed-integer, and other problem types; includes comments, which must be prefaced with a "#."

More Information

To load your MOD file, e.g., example.mod, type model example.mod; if it's located in your "amplcml" folder with your sw.exe file. If your example.mod file is located in a different location you'll need to include the path. Type something like this (if using Windows): model C:Usersexample.mod;. After successfully loading your MOD file, type solve; to solve the problem. Then if you want to display any of your results, type display and whatever results you want displayed. Remember to always end your line with a ;.

An example of a MOD file:

var XB;
var XC;
maximize Profit: 25 * XB + 30 * XC;
subject to Time: (1/200) * XB + (1/140) * XC <= 40;
subject to B_limit: 0 <= XB <= 6000;
subject to C_limit: 0 <= XC <= 4000;
