<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>How difficult would it be both conceptually and technically to
implement a BiCePS layer for MILPs where the LP relaxation is
solved using a distributed-memory (MPI-based) solver, supposing
one exists? Does Alps make the assumption that a worker
corresponds to 1 MPI process, or would some hacking need to be
done at the level of, I assume, AlpsKnowledgeBrokerMPI?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm just doing preliminary research now, so a general response
without much technical detail is more than sufficient.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
