Benchmarks used in the evaluation


To save space, the PB05 benchmarks archives were removed from this site. Please, refer to the PB06 benchmark page to find benchmarks sets in the new format.

This page lets you download the benchmarks used during the evaluation. Further information on these benchmarks will be available later.
Each benchmark named file has been normalized and renamed to normalized-opb-file.

Benchmarks translated from MPS files gathered on the web

These benchmarks are a translation of linear programming problems available on the web and expressed in MPS format. These benchmarks are named normalized-opb-vX-YY-ZZ-file where X is the version of the translator, YY is the maximum number of bits used for the representation of the integer part of a variable, ZZ is the number of bits used for the representation of the fractional part of a variable and file is the name of the initial MPS file.

Note that the translation process hasn't been thoroughly tested. Therefore, the semantics of these files might be different from the initial MPS file. Furthermore, the limitation on the number of bits  used to represent a real variable imposes constraints which are not initially expressed in the MPS file. Therefore, the set of solution is likely to be different. At last, the translation process tends to generate huge coefficients that can exceed the limits of a 32 bits integer.
