The primary goal of this software is to provide researchers and their students in the field of interior-point methods a convenient and yet powerful tool for quickly experimenting and comparing various ideas and algorithms on nontrivial LP problems. The current release is Beta-version. It can solve a large majority of LP problems in the Netlib collection, mostly within seconds on a fast workstation such as SGI Indigo 2.
Some effective techniques are still to be implemented, such as dense-column handling.
The Beta version contains binary files without sources and is therefore machine-dependent. Future releases will be including sources and be more portable.
