A Parallel implementation of approximate semidefinite programming for MAXCUT with experimental results

We have implemented the approximate semidefinite programming for MAXCUT given by Klein and Lu (STOC'96). Our implementation for an IBM SP2 reveals the impractibility of this algorithm, basically because it hides the use of very large and very small floating-point numbers that can not be directl...

Resumo:We have implemented the approximate semidefinite programming for MAXCUT given by Klein and Lu (STOC'96). Our implementation for an IBM SP2 reveals the impractibility of this algorithm, basically because it hides the use of very large and very small floating-point numbers that can not be directly handled by the current computer hardware. On the other side, our experimental results show that the algorithm converges to a good approximation of the optimal, though oscillating.
