On July 2nd of 2018, Chenyu Yang, the original code author of the above main project, requested me to have "an implementation of LP on GPU", and Ed seconded this idea. I henceforth started exploring the possibility of such an endeavor. What is more important, such "an implementation of LP on GPU" should beat our current solver (Gurobi or Matlab's linprog). After some research, my conclusion is that we cannot beat performance of Gurobi on solving a single LP, and we should continued to use Gurobi instead of linprog. However, we might be still able to speed up our code by task-parallelising on CPU cores.

We are running remotely on the Database Server via VNC. The VNC service on DB Server was configured by Wei during Summer 2018. Matlab, CUDA, and the Titan GPU were installed/configured by Office of Information Technology(OIT).
