SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SOLVING MIXED INTEGER PROGRAMS WITH PEER-TO-PEER APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention discloses methods of solving mixed integer programs (MIP) in distributed environments, where the number of computers or users involved in the optimization can be extremely high. The proposed methods are designed to be robust in order to cope with all the difficulties in public and heterogeneous environments including load balancing and privacy. The present invention also describes a market on computation power.
