QPLIB consists of quadratic optimization problems of the form \[ \begin{align*} \textrm{sense} \;\; & \frac{1}{2} x^\top Q^0 x + b^0 x + q^0 \\ \textrm{such that}\;\; & c^i_l \leq \frac{1}{2} x^\top Q^i x + b^i x \leq c^i_u & i \in \mathcal{M} \\ % & l_j \leq x_j \leq u_j & j \in \mathcal{N} \\ % & x_j \in \mathbb{Z} & j \in \mathcal{Z} \end{align*} \] where
