Super-speeds with Zero-RAM: Next Generation Large-Scale Optimization in Your Laptop!
share
This article presents the novel breakthrough general purpose algorithm for large scale optimization problems. The novel algorithm is capable of achieving breakthrough speeds for very large-scale optimization on general purpose laptops and embedded systems. Application of the algorithm to the Griewank function was possible in up to 1 billion decision variables in double precision took only 64485 seconds ( 18 hours) to solve, while consuming 7,630 MB (7.6 GB) or RAM on a single threaded laptop CPU. It shows that the algorithm is computationally and memory (space) linearly efficient, and can find the optimal or near-optimal solution in a fraction of the time and memory that many conventional algorithms require. It is envisaged that this will open up new possibilities of real-time large-scale problems on personal laptops and embedded systems.
