Part of the COIN High Performance Parallel Search Framework
Description
BiCePS is one of the libraries that make up the CHiPPS (COIN High Performance
Parallel Search Framework) library hierarchy. It implements the data-handling
functions needed to support development of many types of relaxation-based
branch-and-bound algorithms, especially for solving mathematical programs. It
is intended to capture the implementation of methods common to all such
algorithms without assuming anything about the structure of the mathematical
program or the bounding method used. BLIS, which is another layer built on top
of BiCePS, is a concretization of Bcps for the case of mixed integer linear
programs. DIP is another implementation being developed using BLIS that
implements a decomposition-based bounding procedure.
