Convex Optimization for Realtime Embedded Systems

Overview

The Convex Optimization for Real-time Embedded Systems (CORES) project aims to develop highly efficient, real-time convex optimization algorithms and toolsets for solving important engineering problems on hierarchical and heterogeneous embedded system architectures. Though recent advances in optimization solvers have enabled the solution of optimization problems on low-cost embedded systems, the size of the problems that can be solved in real-time is still limited.

The CORES project, a collaboration between ICL and Michigan Technological University, works to address this limitation. The ICL team’s main responsibility is the design and development of higher-performance, structure-aware linear solvers that enable us to solve, in real-time, convex optimization problems with significantly higher performance—and orders of magnitude greater size—compared to current state-of-the-art solvers.
