Remarks An efficient implementation of an interior point method for large-scale linear and/or quadratic programming.
It is very well designed into an straightforward manner. It is easy to be incorporated into larger systems for solving different types of optimization problems.
A comparison between LOQO and some other IP package for LP is given in Hans Mittelmann (mittelmann@asu.edu) benchmark:
