To tell you the truth, my project mainly consists in testing the performances of various solvers and therefore recquires the use of the solver competition format xcsp, where the constraints are formulated in .xml files. As I did not intend to re-write every set of constraints for each solver, which would be both time consuming and performance altering, the only objective way of comparing the solvers was to give them the same input: the xcsp files. That's why I was wondering whether such a parser existed for Gecode.

If you are going to write such a parser yourself, you might want to take advantage of the FlatZinc interface for Gecode, available from http://www.gecode.org/flatzinc.html. It's probably easier to write a converter from xcsp to FlatZinc than a complete front-end.

As soon as you have the benchmarks ready, we'd like to encourage you to send them to us so that we can have a look. That way, we (and you) can make sure that no modeling or conversion artefact renders the numbers you get meaningless.

Cheers,
        Guido
