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.
