1This is the Clp project. For information on the purpose of 2this project please visit https://github.com/coin-or/Clp 3 4The information below should be migrated into ../README.md or the User's Guide. 5 6Running clp gives you some hints. It can do a unit test (clp -unitTest) and solve netlib 7problems (-netlib or -netlibp using primal). It can also solve problems and set tolerances etc. Just do 8 9clp 10 11and then try ? or setting various stuff. 12 13clp filename reads file, does presolve and dual algorithm 14clp filename -primalsimplex would use primal instead 15 16On Linux clp can do file completion and line editing if it can find history, readline and termcap.. 17 18If you want to stress the code you can set various stuff e.g. dantzig pricing 19 and then go into netlib testing. I do not guarantee that it will solve all 20netlib if you get too creative. For instance using presolve makes netlib 21solve faster - but pilot87 prefers a large infeasibility weight. So 22 23clp -presolve on -dualbound 1.0e10 -netlib 24 25works well. 26 27There are samples in ./Samples. To create an executable - testit do 28 29make DRIVER=minimum to use minimum.cpp 30 31or whichever driver you want. A list is in Makefile. 32 33Three useful samples are: 34 35minimum.cpp This is the simplest possible program to read an mps file. 36 37defaults.cpp. This does not do much more, but it does it in much more 38complicated way by specifically setting defaults so it does give more 39useful information. It also prints a solution in a format "similar" to that 40of MPSX. 41 42presolve.cpp. This is a good driver for larger problems. 43 44Other ones can get complicated so start simple and work your way up. 45
