Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The aim of this project is to gain an understanding of the amount and types of parallelism in the simplex method and to demonstrate that it is possible to achieve substantial speed-ups relative to the best serial methods for the full range of practical LP problems. The algorithms developed will be implemented on distributed memory MIMD machines. A related issue is the development of techniques which allow a factored inverse to be used in parallel when solving an unsymmetric sparse linear system.
