CPLEX® Parallel Barrier Solver

The CPLEX® Parallel Barrier Solver solves particularly large or difficult linear programming problems quickly and effectively. Using parallel algorithms developed both at CPLEX and Silicon Graphics, Parallel Barrier takes advantage of multiple processors in SGI Challenge and Power Challenge Systems. Parallel speedups of up to 10X have been achieved. The CPLEX Parallel Barrier Solver includes a fast crossover to basic solutions, so that full sensitivity information is available and basis information exists for restarts. The CPLEX Parallel Barrier Solver is available in both an easy-to-use interactive form and a Callable Library form, with routines callable from user-developed applications.
