2024 COIN-OR Cup winner: cuPDLP.jl

We are pleased to announce that  Haihao Lu and Jinwen Yang are awarded the 2024 COIN-OR Cup for cuPDLP.jl. This project has demonstrated great novelty by leveraging an underexplored first-order method for linear programming. In addition to delivering promising numerical results on large-scale LP instances, cuPDLP has gained traction in the optimization community, with several solvers already integrating it. Also, cuPDLP actively adopts GPU acceleration techniques, which open the door for significant advancements in computational efficiency. The exceptional contributions made by cuPDLP.jl have advanced the computational infrastructure for linear programming, and we look forward to seeing its continued growth and impact.

Prize Committee: Mihai Anitescu (Argonne National Laboratory), Sungho Shin (MIT), François Pacaud (Université Paris)
