Last updated: Oct 30, 2026 Solvers
Update (October 2026): This update brings all solvers up to their latest versions and directly resolves a key concern regarding the MIPfeas benchmark: hardware discrepancies across runs. Moving forward, all solvers are evaluated on a single, standardized platform: the NVIDIA DGX Spark, equipped with an ARM CPU (10 Cortex-X925 performance cores and 10 Cortex-A725 efficiency cores) and a GB10 GPU. By pairing a strong modern CPU with a capable GPU, the Spark system represents accessible, commodity hardware that offers a fair compromise for both CPU- and GPU-accelerated algorithms. To ensure an equitable playing field across the performance cores, solver worker and thread counts are capped at 10. Additionally, we replaced the previous distribution and violin plots with a clearer visualization of the primal integral across solvers. This iteration was prepared specifically for the MIPfeas benchmark presentation during Hans Mittelmann’s session at the 2026 INFORMS Annual Meeting.

For a long time, GPUs were essential for various AI applications and other high-performance compute applications but had limited impact on mathematical optimization. That’s changing.
