ILOG CPLEX 11.0 User's Manual > Advanced Programming Techniques > Using Optimization Callbacks > Control Callbacks > Control Callbacks and Deterministic Parallel Search

Control callbacks are not compatible with deterministic parallel search, a feature which explores a solution space in a way that departs from a conventional branch & cut tree.

In the presence of a control callback, ILOG CPLEX turns off deterministic parallel search and invokes opportunistic parallel search instead, if your application is licensed for parallel MIP optimization.

For more information about deterministic and opportunistic parallel MIP optimization, see Determinism of Results and Parallel MIP Optimizer.
