Benchmark examples for the OSQP solver

These are the scripts to compare the following Quadratic Program (QP) solvers

  • OSQP
  • GUROBI
  • MOSEK
  • ECOS (through CVXPY)
  • qpOASES

The detailed description of these tests is available in this paper. To run these scripts you need pandas and cvxpy installed.

All the scripts (apart from the parametric examples) come with options (default to False)

  • --parallel for parallel execution across instances
  • --verbose for verbose solvers output (they can be slower than necessary while printing)
  • --high_accuracy for high accuracy eps=1e-05 solver settings + optimality checks (default is eps=1e-03)

Benchmark problems

The problems are all randomly generated as described in the OSQP paper. They produce a benchmark library of 1400 problems with nonzeros ranging from 100 to 10'000'000. Problem instances include

  • Random QP
  • Equality constrained QP
  • Portfolio
  • Lasso
  • Huber fitting
  • Support vector machines (SVM)
  • Constrained optimal control

We generate the problems using the scripts in the problem_classes folder.

To execute these tests run

python run_benchmark_problems.py

Results

The resulting shifted geometric means are

OSQP GUROBI MOSEK ECOS qpOASES
1.0 4.28 2.52 28.85 149.93

Maros Meszaros problems

These are the hard problems from the Maros Meszaros testset converted using CUTEst and the scripts in the maros_meszaros_data/ folder. In these benchmarks we compare OSQP with GUROBI and MOSEK.

To execute these tests run

python run_maros_meszaros_problems.py

Results

The resulting shifted geometric means are

OSQP GUROBI MOSEK
1.46 1.0 6.12

SuiteSparse Matrix Lasso and Huber Fitting problems

These are Lasso and Huber fitting problems generated from Least-Squares linear systems Ax ~ b from the SuiteSparse Matrix Collection. They are downloaded and converted to mat using the download.jl script. They are a total of 60 problems (30 Lasso and 30 Huber fitting).

To execute these tests run

python run_suitesparse_problems.py

Results

The resulting shifted geometric means are

OSQP GUROBI MOSEK
1.0 1.63 1.74

Parametric problems

These tests apply only to the OSQP solver with and without warm-starting for three parametric examples of

  • Portfolio
  • Lasso
  • Constrained optimal control (MPC)

The problem construction is the same as for the same categories in the Benchmark Problems.

To execute these tests run

python run_parametric_problems.py
