Hi,
I am new to PPL, coming from CDD (and PORTA), and I am using "ppl_lcdd" (replacing "lcdd_gmp").
I found PPL quite fast on my problems as compared to CDD, so I am quite happy with it.
However, working with circulant matrices I found that the timings depend very much on how the problem is presented.
I am enclosing two files with the same vertices: those in the "ppl_7.ext" are those in "ppl_1.ext" rotated by 6 places, and the problem is to find the inequalities description of the convex hull.
In my machine, "ppl_lcdd" takes about 1.2s to solve "ppl_1" and about 18.3s to solve "ppl_7", although they are essentially the same problem.
Can anyone tell me why this is so?, does it depend on any special sorting in the input?
Thank you very much.
