NPzor
NPzor is a hypothetical software framework designed for research into NP-complete problems. It provides a modular environment that combines problem modeling, solver execution, and performance analysis to enable systematic comparison of algorithms across a range of instances.
Central to NPzor is a problem specification layer that allows users to encode instances in a neutral,
NPzor supports benchmarking by supplying standard instance libraries, evaluation metrics (solution quality, runtime, memory usage), and
Although designed for experimentation, NPzor is not a panacea for NP-hard problems. The framework emphasizes that
