This repository contains experimental code for solving linear programming using first-order methods on NVIDIA GPUs.

Part of the code utilizes https://github.com/google-research/FirstOrderLp.jl which originally stated Apache-2.0 as its license.

A one-time step is required to set up the necessary packages on the local machine:

$ julia --project -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'

solve.jl is the recommended script for using cuPDLP. The results are written to JSON and text files. All commands below assume that the current directory is the working directory.

$ julia --project scripts/solve.jl \
--instance_path=INSTANCE_PATH --output_directory=OUTPUT_DIRECTORY \
--tolerance=TOLERANCE --time_sec_limit=TIME_SEC_LIMIT

A table of iteration stats will be printed with the following headings.

#iter = the current iteration number.

#kkt = the cumulative number of times the KKT matrix is multiplied.

seconds = the cumulative solve time in seconds.

pr norm = the Euclidean norm of primal residuals (i.e., the constraint violation).

du norm = the Euclidean norm of the dual residuals.

gap = the gap between the primal and dual objective.

pr obj = the primal objective value.

pr norm = the Euclidean norm of the primal variable vector.

du norm = the Euclidean norm of the dual variable vector.

rel pr = the Euclidean norm of the primal residuals, relative to the right-hand-side.

rel dul = the Euclidean norm of the dual residuals, relative to the primal linear objective.

rel gap = the relative optimality gap.
