  Description     : a framework for constructing parallel tree search algorithms

CHiPPS is the COIN-OR Open Parallel Search Framework, a framework for
implementing parallel algorithms based on tree search. The current
CHiPPS architecture consists of three layers. The Abstract Library for
Parallel Search (ALPS) is the base layer of a hierarchy consisting of
implementations of various tree search algorithms for specific problem
types. The Branch, Constrain, and Price Software (BiCePS) is a data
management layer built on top of ALPS for implementing relaxation-based
branch and bound algorithms. The BiCePS Linear Integer Solver (BLIS) is
a concretization of the BiCePS layer for solving mixed-integer linear
programs. ALPS, BiCePS, and BLIS are sub-repostories of the CHiPPS
Subversion repository. CHiPPS is part of the larger COIN-OR initiative
(Computational Infrastructure for Operations Research).
