QOCO Python

This repository contains the python wrapper for QOCO and the code generator QOCOGEN.

QOCOGEN is a code generator which takes in an second-order cone program problem family and generates a customized C solver (called qoco_custom) for the specified problem family which implements the same algorithm as QOCO. This customized solver is library-free, only uses static memory allocation, and can be a few times faster than QOCO.

Installation and Usage

You can install qoco-python by running pip install qoco.

For instructions on using the wrapper for QOCO, refer to API, and simple example for an example of solving a simple SOCP with the python wrapper.

For instructions on using QOCOGEN, refer to the documentation.

Tests

To run tests, first install cvxpy and pytest

pip install cvxpy pytest

and execute:

pytest
