Title: 9700 South Cass Avenue

Research Question: How can performance profiles be used to benchmark and compare optimization software?

Methodology: The study proposes the use of performance profiles - distribution functions for a performance metric - as a tool for benchmarking and comparing optimization software. The authors demonstrate that performance profiles combine the best features of other tools for performance evaluation.

Results: The paper presents three case studies: optimal control and parameter estimation problems, the Full COPS, and linear programming. Each case study showcases the effectiveness of performance profiles in providing insight into the software's performance.

Implications: The use of performance profiles offers a comprehensive and accessible way to evaluate and compare optimization software. It allows for a better understanding of the software's performance trends and provides a more accurate comparison between different solvers.

Conclusion: In conclusion, performance profiles are a valuable tool for benchmarking and comparing optimization software. They combine the best features of other tools for performance evaluation and provide a more comprehensive and accurate comparison of software performance.
