The classic NETLIB LP test set, the de facto standard benchmark for linear programming solvers since the mid-1980s. The collection contains real-world LP problems from diverse sources (airline scheduling, forestry, refinery operations, structural optimisation, etc.) in SIF format. 97 instances included with at most 10k rows and 10k columns. 17 larger instances are listed in the table but not included.
