<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA">Hi Everyone<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA">I would really like to leverage off the new GPU linear solvers to do the LU computations IPOPT requires. How can I go about getting IPOPT to use CUSolver? Would I need to write my own interface to it?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA">Alternatively, do any of the existing solvers use GPUs at all? I found a paper, “General-Purpose Sparse Matrix Building Blocks using the NVIDIA CUDA Technology Platform”, by Christen, Schenk, and Helmar which modified
Paradiso and showed great success. But I cannot find this code anywhere…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-ZA">Any help would greatly be appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
