Abstract

We describe Fortran subroutines for finding approximate solutions of sparse instances of the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) using a Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP). The design and implementation of the code are described in detail. Computational results comparing the new subroutines with a dense version of the code (Algorithm 754, ACM TOMS) show that the speedup increases with the sparsity of the data.
