Standard benchmarks such asCUTEr andSBML curated models are used to test the performance of APOPT relative to solversBPOPT,IPOPT,SNOPT, andMINOS. A combination of APOPT (Active Set SQP) andBPOPT (Interior Point Method) performed the best on 494 benchmark problems for solution speed and total fraction of problems solved.[10]
