SDPLIB is a collection of semidefinite programming test problems. All problems are stored in the SDPA sparse format. Contributions to the library are welcome.
Note that the only difference between version 1.1 and version 1.2 of SDPLIB is that problem hinf37 (which was identical to problem hinf9) has been removed from the library. If you're currently using SDPLIB 1.1, just delete problem hinf37, and you're up-to-date.
