Abstract
Data processing systems are described for processing linear programming problems. The invention employs optical (100) or digital (150) processors to perform Gaussian pivot operations by performing outer product matrix operations in parallel. The present invention can solve linear programming problems utilizing various techniques, including the Simplex and Karmarkar algorithms. This results in a greatly improved speed in solving linear programs over prior techniques involving sequential computing.
