Abstract

Recent hardware advances have made it possible to solve large scale Linear Programming problems in a short amount of time. Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have gained a lot of popularity and have been applied to linear programming algorithms. In this paper, we propose two efficient GPU-based implementations of the Revised Simplex Algorithm and a Primal–Dual Exterior Point Simplex Algorithm. Both parallel algorithms have been implemented in MATLAB using MATLAB’s Parallel Computing Toolbox. Computational results on randomly generated optimal sparse and dense linear programming problems and on a set of benchmark problems (netlib, kennington, Mészáros) are also presented. The results show that the proposed GPU implementations outperform MATLAB’s interior point method.
