KORBX® (a registered trademark of AT&T) is AT&T's new system for solving large-scale linear programs. The system consists of both hardware, which uses parallel processing technology configured with 256 MB of memory, and software which exploits the design and resources of this modern hardware. The KORBX linear programming software system contains four algorithms which are variations of the interior point method of Narendra Karmarkar. The primal, dual, primal-dual, and power series algorithms were empirically evaluated on a set of linear programming application models being used by the staff of the Military Airlift Command at Scott Air Force Base. For calibration purposes, a set of smaller test problems were also run using MPSX and XMP; and some pure network problems were solved using NETFLO, MPSX, and XMP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
