We develop and compare three decomposition algorithms derived from the
method of alternating directions. They may be viewed as block Gauss-S
eidel variants of augmented Lagrangian approaches that take advantage
of block angular structure. From a parallel computation viewpoint, the
y are ideally suited to a data parallel environment. Numerical results
for large-scale multicommodity flow problems are presented to demonst
rate the effectiveness of these decomposition algorithms on the Thinki
ng Machines CM-5 parallel supercomputer relative to the widely-used se
rial optimization package MINOS 5.4.
