We study the parallelization of the steepest-edge version of the dual simplex algorithm. Three different parallel implementations are examined, each of which is derived from the CPLEX dual simplex implementation. One alternative uses PVM, one general-purpose System V shared-memory constructs, and one the PowerC extension of C on a Silicon Graphics multi-processor. These versions were tested on different parallel platforms, including heterogeneous workstation clusters, Sun S20-502, Silicon Graphics multi-processors, and an IBM SP2. We report on our computational experience.
