The aim of the work is to compare the performances of the novel Attic method for linear programming (Buzzi-Ferraris, 2011) with the existing algorithms of the simplex and interior point families. Potentialities of the new method are demonstrated and quantified on the linear programming problem of thermal cracking refinery.
