Hi,

I'm solving integer problems using Cplex 9.0 in a Java program. To respect some CPU budget, I set a maximum number of seconds to each Cplex solve(). But I also need to set a branch-and-bound tree size limit to avoid 'out-of-memory' errors.

My code looks like (if I want a 500MB size limit and 3600 sec time limit) :

cplex.setParam(DoubleParam.TreLim, 500);
cplex.setParam(DoubleParam.TiLim, 3600);
cplex.solve();


What I find strange is that only the [b]last[/b] setParam() is active, [b]not both of them[/b].
With my code example, only time limit is active; Cplex won't stop even if the tree size is over 500MB.

And if I set [i]TiLim[/i] before [i]TreLim[/i], then only the size limit is active; Cplex won't stop even after the time limit.

Is this a bug ? Can I set 2 limits in Cplex ?

Thanks

Hi,

Try to use cplex.setParam(IloCplex.DoubleParam.TreLim,500) and cplex.setParam(IloCplex.DoubleParam.TiLim,3600).

The TriLim limit is related to the memory size of the compressed tree, it is then possible that the uncompressed memory is above your limit but the compressed one is still below it.
