1.1 Installation

Extract the files from the archive “biqcrunch.tar.gz”. To compile and test BiqCrunch go to the src directory then run the following commands:

$ make  
$ source runtests.sh

This will produce specific binary files for each problem subdirectory located in the problems/ directory. This allows one to execute BiqCrunch with a specific heuristic for each problem. If your problem does not appear, it is always possible to use the generic version of the solver in the problems/generic/ directory, or add your own heuristic (details are given in this documentation). Installation from the source files requires either LAPACK or the Intel MKL libraries. If MKL is available then it will be used by default.
