OR-Library is a collection of test data sets for a variety of OR problems.
A full list of the test data sets available in OR-Library can be found here.
There are currently 7 data files.
These data files are the test problems used in the working paper: "Heuristic algorithms for the unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem" by J.E. Beasley available from here.
The problem as given in the data files below is to maximise the expression
sum{i=1,...,n} sum{j=1,...,n} q(i,j)x(i)x(j)
where n is the number of variables and q(i,j) is a symmetric matrix.
The x(i) {i=1,...,n} are the binary (zero-one) variables.
The test problems are the files:
bqpgka, bqp50, bqp100, bqp250, bqp500, bqp1000, bqp2500
The format of these data files is:
number of test problems
for each test problem in turn:
number of variables (n), number of non-zero elements in the q(i,j) matrix
for each non-zero element in turn:
i, j, q(i,j) {=q(j,i) as the matrix is symmetric}
File bqpgka corresponds to the problems solved in F. Glover, G.A. Kochenberger and B. Alidaee, Adaptive memory tabu search for binary quadratic programs. Management Science 44 (1998) 336-345.
The largest file is bqp2500 of size 44Mb (approximately) The entire set of files is of size 57Mb (approximately).
