Abstract

In this paper, a parallel-vector simplex algorithm is developed for solving large-scale linear programming problems on distributed-memory computers. The algorithm uses the column storage scheme to enhance its overall performance. The effect of using different pivot rules on the performance of the simplex method on high-performance computers is also studied.
