From Sequential to Parallel: Reformulating Dynamic Programming as GPU Kernels for Large-Scale Stochastic Combinatorial Optimization
ICLR 2026poster
Dynamic programming (DP) is central to combinatorial optimization, optimal control, and reinforcement learning, yet its perceived sequentiality has long hindered scalability. We introduce a general-purpose GPU framework that reformulates broad classes of forward DP recursions as batched min--plus ma…
