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/
