The Code

sortbp.c - Left-most first fit bin packing with decreasing width placement. Used to find the seed for the parallel implementation.
optbp.c - Optimal bin packing with piece rotation -- serial version.
optbpp.c - Optimal bin packing with piece rotation -- parallel version.
Makefile - The make file for optbpp.c
datagen.c - The data set generator.


Some of the Data Sets

data - Some data sets generated using datagen.
