Ahehn-nv

During a three-month period, Alex Hehn enhanced the NVIDIA/cuopt repository by focusing on performance and workflow improvements in C++ and Shell. He optimized the dual simplex solver by refactoring key data structures from std::list to std::vector, streamlining element removal to accelerate linear programming solves. Alex also integrated zlib and bzip2 libraries into the mps_parser, enabling direct decompression and parsing of compressed MPS and QPS files, which eliminated manual preprocessing and improved data ingestion efficiency. Additionally, he addressed cross-compiler printf formatting issues, increasing build stability and portability. His work demonstrated depth in algorithm optimization, build integration, and software maintenance.
