[Help-glpk] Performance decrease with more powerful computer

2013-02-01 Thread Patrik Dufresne
Hi, I'm using GLPK in one project and the time taken to compute is longer on a more powerful computer. Does it make any sense to you ? I don't have any clues about how to debug it. I would really appreciate tips to diagnose the problem. Patrik Dufresne ___

Hi Patrik, It's hard to make sense of this without a bit more detail regarding software used, the problem type, etc. Sometimes small changes in numerics can make a big difference in how the branches of an MIP problem are explored. But without additional info it is foolish to speculate. Jeff On

Looking at the descriptions I think you're thrashing.  Add more memory to system 1, unless of course there's a typo and that should read "32GiB" instead of "3GiB" --- On Fri, 2/1/13, Patrik Dufresne wrote: From: Patrik Dufresne Subject: Re: [Help-glpk] Performance decrease with more powerful

Hi, I don't believe the memory to be in cause. The problem is solved using 25Mb according to glpsol. I've made the problems to be solved available on my dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ja2myngas5lorow/FEtqJuklmI/assigments-mip.tar.gz Patrik Dufresne On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 11:15 AM, Reginald
