dwavesystems/qbsolv
Dec 2017 - Jun 2018
Qbsolv,a decomposing solver, finds a minimum value of a large quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem by splitting it into pieces solved either via a D-Wave system or a classical tabu solver. (Note that qbsolv by default uses its internal classical solver. Access to a D-Wave system must be arranged separately.)
