How to Get Started with NVIDIA cuOpt
Akamai Technologies, Thursday, October 16th, 2025
In 2024, NVIDIA announced its graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated prima-dual linear programming (PDLP) implementation: cuOpt.
The announcement included benchmarking results for a set of problems from the MIPLIB benchmark library and claims that cuOpt is faster than the state-of-the-art CPU-based LP solver in 60% of the problems.
However, this new method comes with challenges. The initial announcement mentioned convergence issues and lower accuracy as some of the problems. Other sources, such as the HiGHS Newsletter and the FICO Blog, have echoed similar concerns.
