INFORMS Puerto Rico 2 Testing Cut Generators for MILP 6 MPS Chair’s Column 10 77 This second issue of 2008 has accuracy in computation and benchmarking of computer codes as main themes. The two topics are strictly related. In the scientific contribution François Margot proposes a methodology for testing the accuracy and the effectiveness of cut generators for Mixed-Integer Linear Programming while in the discussion column Matthew Saltzman reports on a very interesting panel discussion on benchmarking held in Puerto Rico during the INFORMS International 2007. We hope that putting these two contributions together in issue 77 of Optima would be beneficial for our readers and the entire Mathematical Programming community since the topics have crucial impact in the area. Matthew Saltzman’s contribution is written “in memoriam” of Lloyd Clarke (1964–2007), a respected member of the Mathematical Programming community and a good friend. Optima 77 is dedicated to him.

متن کاملA Generalization of Initial Conditions in Benchmarking of Economic Time-Series by Additive and Proportional Denton Methods
The paper presents unified analytical solution for combining high-frequency and low-frequency economic time-series by additive and proportional Denton methods with parametrical dependence on the initial values of variable and indicator in evident form. This solution spans Denton’s original and Cholette’s advanced benchmarking initial conditions as the subcases. Computational complexity of the o...
متن کاملA Dwarf-based Scalable Big Data Benchmarking Methodology
Different from the traditional benchmarking methodology that creates a new benchmark or proxy for every possible workload, this paper presents a scalable big data benchmarking methodology. Among a wide variety of big data analytics workloads, we identify eight big data dwarfs, each of which captures the common requirements of each class of unit of computation while being reasonably divorced fro...
متن کاملPractical benchmarking in DEA using artificial DMUs
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the most efficient tools for efficiency measurement which can be employed as a benchmarking method with multiple inputs and outputs. However, DEA does not provide any suggestions for improving efficient units, nor does it provide any benchmark or reference point for these efficient units. Impracticability of these benchmarks under environmental conditio...
