R: The Rsolnp Benchmark Problems Suite.

benchmark {Rsolnp} | R Documentation

## The Rsolnp Benchmark Problems Suite.

### Description

The function implements a set of benchmark problems against the MINOS solver of Murtagh and Saunders.

### Usage

    benchmark(id = "Powell")

### Arguments

`id` | The name of the benchmark problem. A call to the function `benchmarkids` will return the available benchmark problems.

### Details

The benchmarks were run on dual xeon server with 24GB of memory and windows 7 operating system. The MINOS solver was used via the tomlab interface.

### Value

A data.frame containing the benchmark data. The description of the benchmark problem can be accessed throught the `description` attribute of the data.frame.
