NAME
SDPA - High-performance software package for SemiDefinite Programs
SYNOPSIS
sdpa DataFile OutputFile [InitialPtFile] [-pt parameters] [-dimacs] [-numThreads numThreads]
sdpa [options] files...
sdpa --version
DESCRIPTION
sdpa - "SDPA (SemiDefinite Programming Algorithm)" is one of the most efficient and stable software packages for solving SDPs based on the
primal-dual interior-point method.
SDP (SemiDefinite Program) is used for financial engineering, machine learning, control theory, sensor network problem, quantum chemistry,
quantum information, combinatorial optimizaiton, polynomial optimization, and so on.
Futher information on SDP and SDPA can be found at
http://sdpa.sourceforge.net/
OPTIONS
---- option type 1 ----
sdpa DataFile OutputFile [InitialPtFile] [-pt parameters] [-dimacs] [-numThreads numThreads]
parameters = 0 default, 1 fast (unstable), 2 slow (stable)

2: ./param.sdpa
For 'option type2', this is skipped.
3: /usr/share/sdpa/param.sdpa
4: Default parameter
-dimacs
printout dimacs information incurring additional computation cost
-numThreads
number of pthreads for internal computation
