Hi all,
  We would like to know about the following:

1) Do such aforementioned libraries exist? By Optimization library I meant 
   libraries that will support schemes such as the Reduced Gradient Methods, Shortest Path Methods, etc.

2) Is it possible to found out about the parallel computing sites that 
   provide such libraries/environment?

3) Is there literature out there that does an overview of parallel 
   optimization algorithms ( such as the reduced gradient method)
   and their implementations on different architectures (parallel/vector)?

4) Is there a parallel algorithm/implementation of the Reduced Gradient    Method?

Thanx in advance,

Mduduzi Keswa
