+ The DSDP software is a free open source implementation of an
+ interior-point method for semidefinite programming. It provides
+ primal and dual solutions, exploits low-rank structure and sparsity
+ in the data, and has relatively low memory requirements for an
+ interior-point method. It allows feasible and infeasible starting
+ points and provides approximate certificates of infeasibility when
+ no feasible solution exists. The dual-scaling algorithm implemented
+ in this package has a convergence proof and worst-case polynomial
+ complexity under mild assumptions on the data. Furthermore, the
+ solver offers scalable parallel performance for large problems and a
+ well documented interface. Some of the most popular applications of
+ semidefinite programming and linear matrix inequalities (LMI) are
+ model control, truss topology design, and semidefinite relaxations
+ of combinatorial and global optimization problems.
