- This paper reports results of both simplex AND revised simplex
- implementations on an iPSC/2 hypercube. The methods are primarily
- row or column oriented, and thus are more suited to large or
- medium-grained machines.

- I noticed that Sridhar & Basu co-author a paper on revised simplex
- partitioning schemes in the upcoming IPPS '93.
