[comp.sys.sgi] Sparse LP packages/libraries

LEONARDZ@VM.UOGUELPH.CA (Len Zaifman) (01/16/91)

    We are currently using NAG libraries on a 380 to do general mathematical
functions. It has  a set of calls to do LP , and a set of calls for sparse
matrix calculations. However, it does not do LP problems using Sparse Matrix
techniques.

    On our IBM mainframe , the research group concerned with these problems is
using a Stanford developed package called MINOS. MINOS does have routines which
solve LP problems using Sparse Matrix techniques. Does MINOS , or an equivalent
package exist on the SGI platform ?? The group would like to move their calcula
tions to the SGI box for greater memory/disk capacity , and less restrictive ti
me limits on the system.

     Email me directly and I will summarise the responses, hopefully next week.

                                                           Regards, Len Zaifman
