+# multirow
+This repository contains the source code for the papers on multi-row intersection cuts by
+**Ricardo Fukasawa**, **Laurent Poirrier** and **Álinson S. Xavier**. It also contains
+the instances, the raw outputs and the scripts that were used to generate the tables 
+that appear in the papers.
+
+## Required tools and libraries
+
+To produce the tables in the papers, the following tools and libraries were used.
+Different versions may produce slightly different outputs.
+Compiling the source code requires a modern C/C++ compiler, with support to C++11 features and OpenMP.
+
+* GNU Make, version 3.81
+* CMake, version 3.8
+* GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection, version 6.3
+* Ruby, version 1.9.3
+* IBM® ILOG® CPLEX®, version 12.6
+
+## Downloading and compiling
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/iSoron/multirow.git
+cd multirow
+git submodule update
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
+
+If CMake cannot find CPLEX, it may be necessary to modify the file `cmake/FindCPLEX.cmake`.
+
