I really want to know what other fellow HNers are using LP for.
If you may tell real cases that will be awesome.
Mostly I am using it for product mixing and licensing cost optimization..
- dxbydt 12y agoI'm using LP in production as a solver for LAD(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_absolute_deviations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_absolute_deviations). We've thousands of jobs running on Mesos ( see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8394718 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8394718 ) and I forecast & provision their CPU, Memory consumption over time. So essentially, fit an LAD through thousands of historical time series & predict what happens to the usage in the future, so we can optimally provision clusters. My LP code is essentially this http://bit.ly/1vxknUi http://bit.ly/1vxknUi , with performance optimizations. So it uses the OSS Apache math libs to do LP, not Glop. But I'd imagine we'd get the same results with Glop, maybe much faster. Google GSON for example is a very fast json parser for huge jsons, which we also use in the same project :)
