CRPC COLLABORATIVE RESEARCHCRPC researcher Bob Bixby (pictured third from the right) with associates from Texaco and Silicon Graphics. A group of researchers (Bixby, Applegate, Chvatal, and Cook) who had previously solved the world's largest Traveling Salesman Problem in 1993, broke the record again by solving for 7397 cities. They also solved for the smallest previously unsolved number (225). The group was given pre-release use of 10 20-processor 150 MHz SGI XL Challenge machines, shown in the background of this photo. Using these machines, Bixby said that they were able to work on problems that previously took years to solve with other workstations.Table of Contents |
