Abstract

Abstract—The celebrated Active Set method proposed by Goldfarb for solving convex quadratic problems (QP) was implemented on-chip in fixed-point arithmetic. This implementation was tested on random QPs and using the standard benchmark system of oscillating masses for which I designed a feedback model predictive controller. The solution times were compared with the ones of the Dual Gradient Projection (DGP) algorithm, also implemented in fixed-point. The solution times of the Active Set algorithm were found to be lower, although no theoretical bounds on convergence are known.
