This paper describes a general purpose method for solving convex optimization problems in a distributed computing environment. In particular, if the problem data includes a large linear operator or matrix A, the method allows for handling each subblock of A on a separate machine. The approach works as follows. First, we define a canonical problem form called graph form, in which we have two set...
