Sessions
We present Scylla, a primal heuristic for mixed-integer optimization. It uses matrix-free approximate LP solving with specialized termination criteria and parallelized fix-and-propagate procedures blended with feasibility pump-like objective updates. Besides the presentation of the method and results, we will go over lessons learned on experimentation and implementation tricks including overhead reduction, asynchronous programming, and interfacing with natively-compiled libraries.
In this talk, we will present the JuliaCon proceedings, the purpose, scope, and target audience of this venue. The proceedings are a community-driven initiative to publish articles of interest to the research and developer communities gathered by JuliaCon, they do not require application processing fees nor a paywall on article, making both producing and accessing the articles possible for all. We will then give a quick tour of the reviewing and publication process which happen transparently in
