**[Alibaba DAMO Academy Releases GPU Version Solver, Breaking the "Unsolvable" Challenge of Billion-Variable Problems]** Golden Finance reports that DAMO Academy announced via its official account today the formal release of the GPU version of its "MindOpt" solver. This version fully leverages the parallel acceleration capabilities of GPUs and introduces new algorithms to overcome the "long-tail effect" challenge. Tests on approximately 2,000 general cases show that MindOpt can stably solve over 99% of problem types with high precision and even supports linear programming problems with billions of variables, traditionally considered "unsolvable." It is reported that solvers are regarded as the "core of industrial software," responsible for complex computations in critical fields such as power dispatching, flight scheduling, advanced manufacturing, and financial management. Traditional linear programming solvers are designed based on CPUs and rely on complex matrix decomposition calculations. As problem sizes expand, memory requirements grow exponentially. Combined with the limited parallelism of traditional solving algorithms, this often results in hours-long convergence times or even outright crashes. (Sina Finance)
