Parallelism in mixed integer programming

Conference ·
OSTI ID:36203

The talk will focus on recent research on parallelizing a mixed integer programming branch-and-cut solver. This work is guided by the desire to develop a general purpose parallel branch-and-cut code capable of solving difficult real-world instances that currently available commercial codes are unable to solve. The preliminary implementation of the code is carried out on a network of 8 DEC 5000 workstations, using TreadMarks as the supporting software distributed shared memory system. Features in the mixed integer programming components as well as the parallel implementation will be presented. The talk will conclude with numerical results on MIPLIB test problems.
