Results from a parallel branch-and-bound algorithm for the asymmetric traveling salesman problem (Q1118534)

Computational results are presented for a parallel branch-and-bound algorithm that optimality solves the asymmetric traveling salesman problem. The algorithm uses an assignment problem based lower bounding technique, subtour elimination branching rules, and a subtour patching algorithm as an upper bounding procedure. Results are presented for randomly generated problems with sizes ranging from 50 to 3000 cities.
