A subspace projected conjugate gradient method is proposed for solving large bound constrained quadratic programming. The conjugate gradient method is used to update the variables with indices outside of the active set, while the projected gradient method is used to update the active variables. At every iterative level, the search direction consists of two parts, one of which is a subspace trumcated Newton direction, another is a modified gradient direction. With the projected search the algorithm is suitable to large problems. The convergence of the method is proved and same numerical tests with dimensions ranging from 5000 to 20000 are given.
